Bucks Lake and Spanish Creek in Plumas County keep going and going. Though, this is the moment to go, as peak has crested.
Color spotter Jeff Luke Titcomb reported dense stands of peaking aspen at Buck’s Lake and pastelian Indian Paintbrush (Darmera) lining Spanish Creek near Keddie on the Old Highway Road, six miles from Quincy.
There, Indian Paintbrush and golden yellow bigleaf maple dominate. Black oak throughout Plumas County are now showing their orange, red and yellow in bold contrast to their starkly black limbs.
