50 – 75% – Yosemite Valley – Kari Cobb, a public information officer for the National Park Service in Yosemite Valley confirms what other color spotters have reported: that bigleaf maple have mostly turned, though many of the park’s other principal species remain in the midst of change. Dogwood are a mix of rose and green; black oak are mostly yellow and transitioning to their trademark orange and black. The exotic sugar maple planted by early settlers near the Yosemite Chapel has completely turned with its red leaves now dry.
