Lake George in the Mammoth Lakes Basin (9/23/23) Angie Plaisted

Color spotter Angie Plaisted may have already submitted the best email subject line of the season with her weekend report on “George’s Beautiful Backside.”

Angie participated in the Mammoth Lakes Basin Cleanup on Saturday and couldn’t help but notice colors starting to change on the backside of Lake George, one of several lakes you can access by car in the area.

“A few lovely red and yellow colors are popping on the backside of Lake George,” she says. “Past experience is that the colors on the backside change, then disappear quickly.”

It is just another one of the many great little pockets of color that California has to offer.
