Max Forster reports from Humboldt County that, “It’s hard to really give a blanket rating of Peak/Past Peak for the area. It’s more about individual trees or small areas than wide swaths of color. Some spots are past, while others are just getting into peak.” Peak (75-100%) GO NOW! — Humboldt Redwoods State Park — While some […]
DNews offers its view of what’s happening to fall color, because of climate change. Will it mean that pumpkin spice lattes will be a summer drink, in the future? DNews reports that as a result of global warming, hardwood forests are moving north at a pace of 6.25 feet a year. That means that in only […]
Mendocino County color spotter Walter Gabler reports that vineyards between Hopland and Ukiah along U.S. 101 have developed into a blend of green, yellow, orange and burgundy.

However, at 5,700′ and below, black oak are peaking with full peak at Dutch Flat (3,144′). Over the years, I […]

A sure sign that Thanksgiving Day is approaching is when Frank McDonough of the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Gardens in Arcadia starts sending photos of the arboretum’s grounds. Looks like I better go order a turkey. Frank reports it’s still early, though […]
Trinity County color spotter Jeri Rangel sent us back to church to ask for forgiveness for announcing, earlier this week,that Trinity County was almost past peak. Mea culpa! As is evident in Jeri’s pictures, Weaverville is Peaking, with gorgeous color along CA-299. Founded in 1850 during the California Gold Rush, Weaverville is the county seat […]
