Alena Nicholas traveled to Fern Creek Lodge on the June Lake Loop, this past weekend. Alena mentioned, when submitting these photos, that Jon – the 1927 resort’s owner – recently underwent surgery.
She hoped that mentioning his rustic and modern cabins – one of which is named after Ansel Adams – might lift Jon’s spirits.
Well, seeing Alena’s photographs certainly lifted ours, so much so that we’ve packaged the best and most representative of her shots in this postcard collection, providing several inspirational reasons to stay at Fern Creek Lodge.
They include images taken at Convict Lake, Gull Lake, June Lake Loop, Lundy Canyon and Lundy Lake.
We expected Alena to find peak color in Mono County, but didn’t expect how good it would be.
What is seen is that higher areas (Lundy Canyon) have been losing leaves, though a lot of color remains.
How long that will continue depends on whether wind strips the trees.
Along the June Lake Loop, many aspen are still patchy, with lots of green and lime yet to turn yellow and orange.
Spent leaves cover the forest floor, providing a colorful carpet near streams.
We have only two words for those who’d like to see such color… GO NOW!
Peak (75-100%) GO NOW! – June Lake, Convict Lake, Lundy Lake, Lundy Canyon
