Color spotter Jill Donald camped in Bishop Creek this week, capturing these shots along South Lake and North Lake roads.
She reported, “A few aspen are yellowing; some willows are yellowing; and some leafy groundcover plant is turning vivid oranges and reds.”

Hi after seeing these beautiful pictures, I’d like to make the trip up, could you share how to get to those spots, and staying areas?
Harry,
Bishop Creek (the blog to which you posted a comment) is in the Eastern Sierra in Inyo County, west of Bishop. Take U.S. 395 to get to the area. If you click on the Fall Color Map on our home page, you’ll be able to enlarge it and see exactly where any reported location is found. Or use the Categories section of this site to find reports from the High Sierra or Eastern Sierra or the Archives section to find months when you plan to travel. Also, links to Bishop, Inyo County, Mammoth Lakes and Mono County provide information on where to stay in these areas. Good hunting.
