Fall in Southern Utah

As the weather starts to cool, the area around Cedar City, Brian Head, and Parowan prepares to put on a dramatic show. With a fall season that lasts weeks, not days, a backdrop of striking red rocks, and Southern Utah’s national parks, our area provides an unmatched destination for fall foliage viewing.

Rated as one of the “Top Eight Unique Destinations to View Fall Colors” by NBC’s Today Show and USA Today. The honors are partly due to the concentration of scenic routes that run through the red rock vistas of southern Utah, including National Scenic Byway 143 and Highway 148 through Cedar Breaks National Monument.

As the weather cools, you will find changing leaves at lower elevations, especially around Kolob Canyons and Zion National Park Main Canyon. The Stillman Sculpture Court in Cedar City is beautiful, with plenty of color and beautiful sculptures. We want to thank everyone for spending time with us this fall, and we would love to see some of your favorite images that you captured. Please tag us @VisitCedarCity!
