Color spotter Aaron Thom took a drive around Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear on Sunday and colors were looking good!

“The Village was magnificent, and some of the best views were right next to the Rim of the World road,” he said. “I love the contrast between the ephemeral foliage and the relative permanence of the rocks.”
