Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-edited in Topaz Studio
Photographed near Duck Creek Village in the Dixie National Forest, Utah

The resort community of Duck Creek Village, on Cedar Mountain in the Dixie National Forest is surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery and offers a myriad of recreation activities for all seasons. The village, once a favorite local spot for sheepherders, now serves as a gateway to several National Parks and nearby summer hiking, fishing, camping, biking and a variety of winter activities.
The truly spectacular scenery of this area makes it a popular location for movie and television filming. In the 1940’s, Elizabeth Taylor called the village home on several occasions while filming Drums Along the Mohawk and National Velvet in the area. Later, Duck Creek Village was featured on the television shows "How the West Was Won" and "Daniel Boone”.

Quaking aspen is the most widely distributed native North American tree species, growing in greatly diverse regions, environments, and communities. It occurs across Canada, through the United States, to Mexico, in a variety of habitats. In the western United States, aspen is generally found at 5,000 to 12,000 feet elevation. Aspen occurs in extensive pure stands in some areas, while in others, it is a minor component of the forest landscape. Most of the aspen forest in the United States is found in Utah and Colorado, though it is also scattered throughout all of the western states. The quaking aspen is named for its leaves, which stir easily in even a gentle breeze and produce a fluttering sound with only the slightest provocation.
