Colorful Drive Along I-80
Aspen, Interstate 80, S. Yuba River (9/21/18) Robert Kermen
Alder, Cisco Grove (9/21/18) Robert Kermen
Flashes of color are being seen along Interstate 80, between Truckee and Cisco Grove, color spotter Robert Kermen reports.
This route can get good at a few locations, though it often involves driving off the Interstate to get near the South Yuba River to see it. Right now, the show is still patchy, though splashed with color.
Robert found such splashes about three miles west of the Sierra County line and across the S. Yuba where yellow aspen are clustering “in small draws. Then near the Cisco Grove River Park, he found a gold tinted alder about halfway through color change.”
