Yosemite’s famous eastern sugar maple has presented its crimson show near the Yosemite Chapel. Pacific dogwood and bigleaf maple have littered Fern Spring at the entrance to Yosemite Valley. Now, as Halloween approaches, the valley’s famous tall black oak are beginning their show.
The color will continue through mid to late November, as the black oak throughout the valley and particularly dense near Yosemite Village turn deep shades of orange.

We will be at our cabin in Wawona in Yosemite in 10 days. Has anyone driven the road from Fish Camp the back way into Wawona? Usually the Black Oak are incredible there.
Georgia, we haven’t been to Yosemite this autumn, though the photos sent back indicate the black oak should be good for the next two weeks, throughout the park. Send photos of what you see to editor@californiafallcolor.com Would love to see it.
