The Mountain Warfare Training Center (MWTC) is where United States Marines train for combat in mountain and winter conditions in mountainous terrain. MWTC is situated on the east side of the Sierra Nevada, northwest of Bridgeport, Calif.

Each autumn, the MTWC becomes draped in fall color when aspen turn along CA-108 (Sonora Pass).

Meadowcliff Resort’s Tim Fesko happened by yesterday and returned with this trio of autumn leaves to be seen at the MWTC. He estimates that this area should have about two more weeks of peak color.

Color spotter Phillip Reedy visited Red Lake along Carson Pass, east of Kirkwood, and found the aspen peaking with a kaleidoscope of green, lime, yellow and orange to be seen.

There’s so much color yet to develop, that Philip forecasts, Hwy 88 should have a rolling peaks for the next couple of weeks (conditions permitting).
