Treats for the Eyes and Tastebuds in Plumas

Home nestled in color on Feather River Drive off Main Street, Chester (10/23/23) Jake Edwards

Color spotters in Plumas County are just getting into the meat of color season. We rounded up the following happenings from this week.

In Eastern Plumas County, there are still beautiful aspens in higher elevations, such as the hikers in the image below found along the Jamison Creek Trail.

The Quincy area, as mentioned earlier this week, is at 100% peak! Just about everywhere you look, the town is bursting with awesome autumn color.

The oaks are starting to turn along Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon and will continue to be showy for a few weeks. Highway 89 along Indian Creek is looking quite lovely despite burn scars from the Dixie Fire.

In Indian Valley and Genesee, maples and dogwood are still looking lovely and the oaks are starting to turn. Stop by the Genesee Store (open Friday-Sunday), nestled in the valley for a gourmet meal while you’re out leaf peeping.

Chester, on Hwy 36, is peaking with some amazing colors captured by Jake Edwards, Scenescapery. While you are there, make sure you take in some fall treats at the popular Cravings, or stop in to visit American Interiors in its historical building framed by fall foliage currently at peak.
