Quincy – Peak of the Week
The Plumas County seat of Quincy is one of the prettiest small towns in California and California Fall Color’s Peak of the Week.
Sharon Jiang found Quincy to be a riot of fall color on a visit this past Friday when she drove the scenic Deer Creek Highway (CA-32) from Chico to Plumas County.
At the Elam Campground, Deer Creek is lined with peaking carnelian, honey, burnt-orange and amber Darmera (Indian paintbrush).
On arrival in Quincy, Sharon was greeted by a mix of exotic flowering plum and native cottonwood dressed in carmine and goldenrod. Historic downtown Quincy blends native and exotic trees in a showy display of orange, yellow, red and green tincts.
Quincy and its surrounding fall color spots are prime now and through the coming week.
