Additional images from the wild weekend made their way to our inbox yesterday and we just had to share the beauty. Both Christopher Adkins and Gary Young found great color in Bishop.

Adkins is staying in the area this week and went up to Bishop Creek Canyon three days in a row to find the color progressing quickly. “This week seems to be the week for Bishop Creek,” he said.

The stunning photo above was taken along South Lake Road on Oct. 2.

“I’d say it’s patchy but soon to be near peak towards the upper part of the road,” Adkins explained.

Gary Young was also out on South Lake Road over the weekend. 

“South Lake Road is looking good already with some serious color in areas,” Young said. “There is still a lot of green that will turn soon.”

He rated the area as 30-50%.

As we stated last Friday, the Bishop Creek area is the drive of the week, so get out there and enjoy!
