Alpine Loop

[Ben Egbert]

Alpine loop starts in the town of Alpine Utah and follows the American Fork River for a while, then bends south over an 8060 foot pass to descend to Provo Canyon and back to Utah Valley. The aspen were at peak color yesterday. These images were taken near the pass.

I have driven that loop in the fall before but never got a color show as good as this one. I love the view of the mountains in the first image but the second one is a bit more dramatic for the colors and there is something about the clouds in this scene that has a "just right" feel to it. Nice set.

These are wonderful Ben! Looks like colors really popping there! Glad you caught such perfect conditions!

Pretty scenes, Ben. I especially like the clouds.

Good timing Ben. Nice color show. Nice set with a nod to the second one as the one that holds most interest for me.

These look awesome Ben! Perfect timing and those clouds are so cool. I can’t pick a favorite.

As a side note,I wonder how many Alpine Loops there are. Every time you mention your Alpine Loop I think of the Alpine Loop in SW Colorado. Is this one a 4x4 Route?

Hi Jim, this is a paved road and this time of year gets lots of people up looking for coler, but I have some off road places to go from here.

Beautiful series Ben. Each one is wonderful. If I had to pick one, I'd go with #2.
