Intermountain Region

Fall Colors

Welcome to the Fall Color Report for the Intermountain Region of the US Forest Service. The Intermountain Region consists of National Forest Lands in Nevada, Utah, Southern Idaho, Western Wyoming and parts of California. To find out the report for other regions, contact the Hotline at 1-800-354-4595.

As of November 1, 2008 the fall colors in the Intermountain Region are at an end. Due to incoming winter weather, most of the leaves have turned brown and fallen. Snow is anticipated soon for all areas in the Region. This weather will cause the remainder of the leaves to finish dropping and be covered. Please stay tuned next year!

Don’t miss out on the natural beauty of the Intermountain Region and enjoy your national forests.
Remember take only pictures and leave only footprints.

The Intermountain Region experiences wonderful autumn colors. This page is updated weekly during the fall season. A photo gallery has been put together for your enjoyment. The fall color photos were taken by Forest Service employees throughout the Region.

The Intermountain Region is a spectacular place to be in the fall. Get out and enjoy the beauty of your National Forests.

Utah Skies has submitted some wonderful photos in the past. You can visit their web site at http://www.utahskies.org. If you have fall colors photos you would like displayed on our website, e-mail them to Jody Rose.

It is wise to obtain highway and weather information before leaving home and be prepared for winter weather while in the mountains. Many unpaved forest roads are quite slippery when wet, while some clay based roads simply become impassable.

Visit the Washington Office web site for additional information on viewing fall colors throughout the country.
