We had a couple glorious weeks of fall color but a severe cold snap and high winds took the leaves off quickly in mid-October. We have had beautiful warm(ish) weather for weeks now after that, but the trees are bare. Enjoy a cell phone pictorial of the Utah autumn that briefly was :)
At the end of September
the leaves were only just beginning to change down near the valley floor. You can see only a couple trees on the flank of Grindstone Ridge just above Mapleton had turned by Saturday, Sept. 29:
By the first weekend of October
the entire flank of Maple Mountain was flame red.
The view from our back yard
By mid-October
there were as many leaves on the ground as on the trees.
Wed. Oct. 16 - me and the things
Oct. 17 - 
By the next weekend
the snow was halfway down the mountains and the last leaves were falling.
Snow halfway down Maple Mountain on Sat. Oct. 19. My wife said, "Pity the powerlines are in the way, this would be a great picture." I like the way the power lines and poles look, personally :)
