There’s a riot of color to be seen along the Bear River in Nevada County, Robert Kermen reports. He travels CA-20 and I-80 almost weekly and encounters “multiple color spots along the route.”
Kermen reports that one of his favorite stops is “the headwaters of Bear River which is located on Bowman Lake road just after you pass through Bear Valley headed eastbound on CA-20. This whole area is a riot of color now with bigleaf maple, dogwood, and a few aspen at peak.”
Nevada City is also looking good with maple providing crimson and yellow highlights.
