COTTONWOOD
A member of the willow family, cottonwoods like lots of water
and are usually found along streams or other permanent water sources. The
nar-
rowleaf cottonwood,
found along water in Bryce Canyon, has skinny, green wil-
lowlike leaves that turn dull yellow in the fall. The
Fremont cottonwood,
found
in almost all moist areas of Zion, has large, triangular-shaped, shiny yellow-green
leaves that turn bright yellow in the fall.
