Color spotter Aaron Thom was in Yosemite Valley last weekend where colors were still looking pretty green with some trees starting to brown.

“I’m not sure how the foliage will be at peak there this year,” he said.

He did, however, capture a single red maple he passed in the valley near the visitor center, as well as some slight yellow visible at Mirror Lake.
