Yes, Arizona does have seasons, and yes, even fall color. Oak Creek Canyon, near Sedona, is a stunning place to begin with, but offers even more opportunities in the fall. This picture of a bigtooth maple (Acer grandidentatum) juxtaposed against the red rock cliffs is an example of how you can produce unexpected images of fall colors. But don’t worry: there are still opportunities for classic leaf pictures, too.

Sunday, September 6th, 2009Sabino Canyon, Coronado National Forest, Arizona
Sabino Canyon Recreation Area (part of Coronado National Forest) sits on the Northeast side of Tucson, Arizona, tucked into the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains.
Surrounded on three sides by the Pusch Ridge Wilderness, the terrain ranges from relatively flat to rugged canyons and mountainsides. Miles of hiking trails and even a paved road (closed to traffic) allow easy access and provide ample photo opportunities.
