Color spotter Michael Beatley drove to Bucks Lake, (Northern Sierra at about 5200′ elevation, 17 miles west of Quincy) on Thursday, September 19, 2024 and found that fall color had begun to show.
“Thompson Lake is next to Bucks Lake on the road to the dam,” he said. “Mountain ash has turned color to red and orange as a usual first color changer. The quaking aspens are on the verge of their color change. On Big Creek Road, to Bucks Lake the big leaf maples are beginning to turn.”
