Sierra Foothills on Fire

Sunset, El Dorado Hills (11/19/23) John Poimiroo

In a year with satisfyingly few wildfires, it’s gratifying to report that the Sierra foothills are finally on fire with fall color.

From sunsets blazing across the horizon to oak woodlands glowing with orange embers, the foothills are putting on a colorful show.
