Color is Just Starting to develop in the aspen grove near South Lake Tahoe’s Mt. Tallac trailhead, reports SLT color spotter Michelle Pontoni.
While aspen are Just Starting, a few are showing “scrub red.” Hike two-hours up the mountain and you’re likely to both be winded and surrounded by more color, she reports.

At nearby DL Bliss State Park, there’s little color, but who cares. Jeffrey Pines are emitting their butterscotch aromas, found by smelling the resin’s scent between plates in the bark.
