While Bishop Creek Canyon received snow during this week’s storm and the leaves are definitely at Peak and Past Peak in the higher elevations, there are still many green and yellow trees in the Owens Valley. The rain this week should allow the colors to hang on a little longer. The nighttime temperatures look like they will be staying above freezing, so we have our fingers crossed!
