GO NOW! Peak (75 – 100%) June Lake Loop – Mono County color spotter Alicia Vennos reports “It’s like the switch just flipped and Mono County is spectacular everywhere right now, including the June Lake Loop, Lundy Canyon, Convict Lake, Conway Summit, Summer’s Meadow/Green Creek Road and Log Cabin Road (at the bottom of Tioga Pass Road!).
These photos attest to the dramatic turn around in color at lower elevations. She predicts that “this weekend (and next) will be a photographer’s dream.” Plus, what could be better than fall color and beer!? The June Lake Autumn Beer Festival starts Saturday, Oct. 11 at Gull Lake Park. CLICK HERE for more details.
GO NOW! Peak (75 – 100%) Little Walker Lake – Aspen above Little Walker Lake on the Bloody Canyon trail to Sardine Lakes are incredible right now. This is a strenuous hike, so plan accordingly. The aspens around the south-west end of Little Walker Lake itself are just starting but should be peaking by next week! To get to Little Walker Lake, take the Parker Lake Road exit from the north end of the June Lake Loop/Hwy. 158 and follow the signs to Walker Lake Trailhead.
GO NOW! Peak (75 – 100%) – Log Cabin Road – Peaking at higher elevations. This dirt road is located at the bottom of the Tioga Pass Road near Lee Vining — it is in fairly good shape with some steep, rocky sections. At the historical cabins, it is advised to park and walk to the best viewpoints which are another 1.5 – 2 miles.
GO NOW! Peak (75 – 100%) – Conway Summit – US 395 between Lee Vining and Bridgeport is gorgeous right now, both on the south and the north sides. Green Creek Road and Summer’s Meadows just south of Bridgeport are also peaking.
