Thanks to your posting. We went to Brockway Summit yesterday. The display of color was wonderful and we came home with some great photos.
So glad to hear that, Wei. We’d love to see your photos. Email one or two that we can post to editor@californiafallcolor.com. You never know, your photo could be selected as Fall Color Photo of the Week!
Hi John:
I just emailed you couple of photos I took at Brockway Summit. Hope you will enjoy them. Many thanks.
