Mill Creek is showing surprising color for early autumn. At only 4,737′ in elevation, the area is famous for its covered bridge and ranch views.
Located along the Lassen Volcanic Scenic Byway (CA-89), sections of Mill Creek are populated with creek dogwood, quaking aspen, alder, vine maple, black cottonwood and black oak.
The aspen and cottonwood seem to be providing most of the early color with most of the larger, older trees still green.
