Hi all,

I'm planning a trip to Zion NP in the first week of Nov this year - I believe that's when the Fall foliage is at it's best in the canyon bottom. Any indicated it will be earlier/later this year? I wonder if Zion received more rain this year in spring - much of the southwest did. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

I googled up this foilage report. Seems we are 1-2 weeks late here in Northern AZ, so wondered what was happening in Zion. I did not see anything on the NPS site for Zion.
