Changing By the Hour

Inyo County color spotter Betsy Forsyth sent in an update this morning that really sums up what we are seeing in the Eastern Sierra this season.

“I made another run up to Bishop Creek yesterday,” Forsyth said. “The colors are changing QUICKLY!! I was up there Sunday and there are so many more yellow leaves as of yesterday (Thursday)!!”

Parchers Resort & South Lake Landing said it best, explained Forsyth.

“It is changing by the hour in some places. Not changing at all in others. Some areas are dull and may not go. Some areas are popping off. Odd year so far with the fall foliage.” 
 
Odd year, indeed, and may only get odder with the first snow predicted this weekend in higher elevations.
 
Due to these changes we predict Bishop Creek Canyon to be the Drive of the Week in the coming seven days.
