Fall Color and Snow – Zion

Description

During an early winter hike in the backcountry of Zion, the first flakes of snow began to fall. As we ascended the mountainside, a solitary tree caught my eye in the distance, its leaves still clinging to vibrant fall colors. The rich hues of the foliage melded beautifully with the backdrop of red sandstone, creating a stunning palette of warm and cool tones. Meanwhile, the contrasting shades of dark rock and bright white snowflakes added depth and texture to the scene. This image captures the fleeting moment between seasons, where fall gracefully transitions into winter, and the landscape seems to shift with every step.
