After hearing today that leaves had dropped from some aspen trees at June Lake, we asked Jeff Simpson to go there and photograph what it looks like, right now. His photos do not disappoint.

The aspen groves are lush and full of leaves, though, on closer inspection, some are spotted with black leaf spot fungus. Still, June Lake is on track for terrific color.

Next weekend (Oct. 15/16) should be prime for peak color at June Lake. Make your travel plans, now!

June Lake Loop/Hwy 168 – Patchy (10-50%) – The patchy rating is deceiving.  This area should easily move to near peak within a week.

As such, in the coming week June Lake is sure to earn the title PEAK OF THE WEEK.
