After the recent rains in Plumas County, it seems fall is at peak. Snow and more rain are on the horizon, hinting that this display won’t last much longer, so now’s your time to experience it.

Quincy has peaked at 75-100%, with maples along LaPorte Road displaying intense yellows and oranges. In this quaint area of California, life slows down. There are no big-name fast-food chains or crowded tourist spots. Instead, you’ll find quaint coffee shops, a bookstore, and friendly locals who know how to savor the season; authentic leaf peepers. It’s the perfect place to relax as the fall colors transition from the high elevations to the valleys in California.

If you are visiting with kids, there are many different trick or treating options to choose from while you enjoy the fall colors. 

A short drive up from Quincy, Bucks Lake awaits, surrounded by evergreens and splashes of golden foliage. The water is cold and calm, mirroring the colors of the leaves that dot its shore.

This is fall in Plumas County: vibrant, peaceful, and refreshingly uncrowded. It’s a fleeting season, so make the most of it over the next few weeks, and let the charm of Plumas County welcome you.
