Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
Aspen Grove photographed along scenic Utah SR 14 leaving the Dixie National Forest.
The Sun was just coming over the canyon walls around 9:30am, the Aspens leaves have fallen and nature is preparing for the winter season.
Aspens stand 40-70 feet in height, with a smooth white trunk 1-2 feet in diameter. The tree is deciduous, with leaves that are rounded and shine bright green until they turn yellow in the fall. Two-inch catkins flower in very early spring, producing small narrow cones that split to release copious amounts of tiny, cottony seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Reproduction, however, is almost entirely vegetative, with suckers sprouting from existing root systems, the Aspen is a Clone. The Quaking Aspen is named for its leaves, which shake easily in even a gentle breeze and produce a fluttering sound with only the slightest provocation.
Cedar Canyon and State Route 14 are the gateway to a high alpine playground. Ancient lava fields, beautiful pine forests, and unbeatable scenic views are waiting only miles from downtown Cedar City.
Off Cedar City Highway 14 are the entrances to Brian Head Resort, Cedar Breaks National Monument, the Zion Overlook, Navajo Lake, and the Virgin River Rim. All can be reached from Cedar City within an hour.
