Big Cottonwood Canyon, much like many of the surrounding canyons, is an excellent lightshow of color every autumn. Aspen trees are usually the star of the show, with their many yellow, orange and red leaf variations. Maple leaves are also very dramatic, colorwise. When fall comes, and the leaves start to change, this is the place to take a drive, it only lasts for a few weeks, so don't procrastinate.
