Road Trip Rewards

Mount Shasta color (11/16/23) Philip Reedy

A road trip for work this week took color spotter Philip Reedy along the the Upper Sacramento River on the way to Oregon. Along the way he found some beautiful color. 

“I made several stops coming and going to check out the colors along I-5 and the river,” Reedy said. “The mountainsides from Redding to Mt Shasta are covered with oaks at peak color for the entire length of the river, so it’s a great time to visit that area.”

While there weren’t a lot of fall colors left in central Oregon, the canyon walls at Smith Rock are a brilliant orange all year, according to Reedy. “It is an amazing place and definitely worth the drive.”
