Sunday Afternoon: Drive through the Canyon

I spent 4 years going to school at BYU here in Utah. Every September we'd talk about the leaves changing colors and everyone would talk about how more beautiful it was when you drove through the canyons to see it up close, but I NEVER EVER did it. Well, this year we WERE going to do it. It just so happened that during this past week Jeremy had a birthday that we were unable to celebrate because he had been busy at work all week long, so we planned a drive through American Fork Canyon to see the leaves to be followed up by a birthday BBQ in Provo Canyon.

It was breathtaking. The colors were so vibrant.


On our climb up to the summit, we stopped at a large parking area to look down at the valley and to snap a few pictures.



Once we crossed over the summit, we started seeing the aspen trees. They were just barely changing colors, so they were only yellow, but some of them were the most vibrant yellows. They were beautiful.


I was amazed at the variety of color. The red on this tree was so beautiful.



It was just so beautiful and amazing the entire ride through the canyon.




Finally we ended up in Provo Canyon, passing Bridal Veil Falls.


We will definitely be doing this every year! It was amazing and breathtaking and awe-inspiring!! I am grateful to live in such a beautiful place where I am constantly reminded of God through the beauty I see each and every day.
