Color spotter, Gary Hromada caught the tail end of color in the high country in Inyo County during a recent fall color trip to the Eastern Sierra.

Hromada visited North Lake and caught a glimpse of the seasonal changes as freezing temperatures created layers of ice in the lake that made the fall colors even more stunning.

“I camped nearby and it was 20 degrees when I got up for the short drive to the lake,” he exclaimed.

Cold temperatures are continuing and a storm is rolling into the Eastern Sierra this week, bringing some color locations to an end while others are still hanging in there. See the full Inyo County report tomorrow, Oct. 26.
