If
you would like to catch
the fall colors, come
visit in the next couple
of weeks. The
maples are red, the oaks
yellow, and the aspens
are just beginning to
turn gold as I write
this. In this edition,
we've handpicked some of
the season's best
offerings, from top fall
destinations and events
to recipes and home
maintenance
recommendations.

Utah
transforms into a canvas
of radiant colors during
the fall season, with
destinations that beckon
travelers and nature
enthusiasts
alike. Park
City offers
stunning mountain vistas
throughout town and up
at the local
resorts. Elsewhere, the Alpine
Loop Scenic
Byway is
not to be missed
-offeringa
winding journey through
glowing aspen forests
with incredible views of
the valleys and
surrounding mountains.
The photo below and many
throughout this
newsletter were taken by
local
photographer Brent
Haddock. This
one of the Alpine Loop
was taken only a few
days ago. Simply
stunning!
Outside
of Park
City, Zion
National
Park
showcases a contrast of
brilliant foliage
against its iconic red
rock formations, while
Fishlake
National
Forest is
home to the renowned
Pando, an ancient grove
of quaking aspens set
ablaze in golden
splendor.
FALL
HIKES
&
DRIVES
There's
something
so
enjoyable
about
donning
a
flannel
shirt, a
puffy
vest,
and
hiking
boots
and
going
for a
drive to
find a
trail or
road
less
traveled.
With the
fall
colors
just
starting
to
emerge,
take
advantage
of the
opportunity
to go
explore
a new
canyon
or
country
road.
We've
compiled
a list
of our
favorites
for
you.
The
Fall Foliage Map by
Smoky Mountains National
Park is the ultimate
visual planning guide to
the annual progressive
changing of the leaves.
While no tool can be
100% accurate, this tool
is meant to help
travelers better time
their trips to have the
best opportunity of
catching peak color each
year. In our area, it
looks like we'll reach
peak peeping season in
the next few weeks. Interact

WINE
FESTIVAL October
5-7
|
Various
Venues
Perfect
for wine
and
adventure
enthusiasts,
the
weekend-long
Park
City
Wine
Festival
goes
beyond
the
Grand
Tastings
of 100+
wineries,
with

and wine
pairing

at
amazing
locations
throughout

The
2023
annual
solar
eclipse
is on
the
horizon!
The
eclipse
will
begin
around 9
AM and
finish
around
noon,
with
totality
occurring
for
three
minutes
beginning
at 10:28
AM. During
annual
eclipse
events,
the moon
appears
smaller
than the
sun and
does not
completely
obscure
it,
causing
a
radiant
halo to
appear
around
the
moon,
known as
the
“ring of
fire.”
Many
think
salmon
runs
are
just
a
Pacific
Northwest
thing,
but
Utah
has
its
own
annual
Kokanee
salmon
run.
Every
fall,
these
fish
swim
up
local
streams
to
spawn!

VOTE
FOR
PARK
CITY'S

is
that
time
of
year
when
our

at
the
Park

ask everyone
to
chime
in
with
their favorites
in
Park

and
the

if
you
have
any
favorites,
we
encourage
you
to
participate

which
is
open

A
few
of
our
local
restaurants
take
a
break
during
fall
as
they
prep
for
the
upcoming
ski
season,
but
most remain
open,
albeit
often
with
adjusted
hours.
We
encourage
you
to
check
out
the
Park
City
Restaurant
Association's
