Captured near Brighton, Utah, this photograph showcases the breathtaking transition from autumn to winter in Big Cottonwood Canyon. A dusting of early snow blankets the evergreen trees, contrasting beautifully with the vibrant golden and orange hues of the remaining aspen foliage clinging to the lower elevations. The majestic, snow-capped peaks in the distance are partially veiled by dramatic clouds, while sunlight streams through, illuminating sections of the colorful canyon. This image perfectly encapsulates the fleeting and picturesque moment when fall colors meet the first snow of the season in the stunning Wasatch Mountains.
