Crowley Lake Homecoming

Eastern Sierra, Fall Color Report

Crowley (10/18/21) Sarah Wallock

Crowley Lake is home to Mono County’s working class. Well used and worn vehicles are parked on its streets … streets that are home to folk who work for land agencies, the county, in local tourism services or who retired there.

There’s not much ornamental about Crowley. It has a lived-in, down-to-business vibe that working towns often have. Its streets are built for getting there and getting it done. They’re wide, quiet and strong, just like Crowley Lake.

Golden black cottonwood and yellow quaking aspen forest Crowley Lake with Near Peak to Peak color. Conditions permitting, the show will continue for as much as two more weeks.

  • McGee Creek Canyon (8,600’) – Peak (75 – 100%), GO NOW! – Brilliantly colorful.
  • Around Crowley community (6,949′) – Near Peak to Peak (50 – 100%), GO NOW! 
  • Convict Lake (7,850′) – Near Peak to Peak (50 – 100%), GO NOW!
