Vasona Lake County Park

Crisp, cool days, clear skies and fall color combine to make autumn delightful time to visit a local park.

Frank Dariano has followed California Fall Color for years. So, when he visited Vasona Lake County Park in Los Gatos (South SF Bay Area) and found the foliage bright with color, he wanted to share the beauty.

The most colorful of the trees now being seen at Vasona Lake Park are exotic, fluorescent Chinese pistache (Pistacia chinensis). They are peaking across California, presently. Also carrying color are native Western sycamore (Plantanus racemosa), black oak (Quercus kellogii), valley oak (Quercus Iobata), white alder (Alnus rhombifolia), blue elderberry (Sambucus mexicana), and black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa).
