Poole Powers Up

Eastern Sierra, Fall Color Report

Sam xi w9a0541
Poole Power Plant, Lee Vining Canyon (10/29/22) Sam Xi

While most of Lee Vining Canyon is past peak with aspen denuded, color spotter Sam Xi found a grove of aspen at the entrance to the Poole Power Plant that’s powered up with electric color.

He also observed that the “June Lake Loop is definitely going into past peak now overall, but there is still a ton of color in aspens to be found at Silver Lake, as well as the loop road right after June Lake village.”
 
Thanks, Sam. We updated the fall color map based on Sam’s precise directions.
  • Poole Power Plant, Lee Vining Canyon (6,781′) – PEAK (75-100%) GO NOW!
  • June Lake Loop – PEAK to Past Peak, Go Now, you almost missed it.
