“Baffling brilliance” is all we can think of to describe what’s happening this year up Bishop Creek in the Eastern Sierra. Today, we announce ominously, Tah, Dah!, that if you didn’t get to Weir Pond, Parcher’s Resort, Table Mountain Camp, Surveyor’s Meadow or Lake Sabrina, YOU MISSED IT! That’s right. You missed it. These areas are […]
Cory Poole’s photograph of this past weekend’s eclipse of the moon over Mt. Shasta can only be described as “Bloody Good.” Poole is a high school teacher who combines an eye for astronomy and landscapes in his photography. Like many photographers who contribute their work to California Fall Color, he sells prints of his work. […]
Alena Nicholas hiked into the Ansel Adams Wilderness this past weekend and sent these photos of the gold to be discovered there. To get to this area, you take a dirt road from the June Lake Loop from which two main lakes are reached: Parker and Walker. The hike to each from the dirt road […]
We were as surprised as our readers when Bishop Creek (Inyo County, Eastern Sierra) jumped from Patchy to Peak last week, though color spotter Nikhil Shahi confirms this rating was deserved and shares these beautiful pictures, taken this past weekend. Nikhil writes, “North Lake is at peak, for sure… it will not last. It’s just gorgeous there.” […]
Three days ago, Mendocino County color spotter Crys Black had decided to report fall color as Just Starting north of Willits on U.S. 101, but when she drove The Redwood Highway this morning, “the color was beautiful and I have to bump it up to 10-50% with the best location just north of Willits.” Crys […]

Near Peak (50-75%) GO NOW! — Virginia Creek Rd/Dunderberg Meadow Rd. — Groves of aspen near the Virginia Lakes currently range from […]
It’s an invigorating hike to the Sherwin Lakes above the town of Mammoth Lakes, though the reward is worth the effort. The trail passes through colorful brush and the lakes reflect fall color that rings the lakes. And, once at the lakes, dip your fly to catch and release native trout. Here’s what color spotter […]
After posting Mono County’s report this morning, I anticipated the arrival of Jared Smith’s report from Bishop Creek Canyon in the Eastern Sierra. I sensed he would report Near Peak at Surveyor’s Meadow, but was blown away by the news that color has changed rapidly in the past few days, pushing all areas above Mt. […]
CaliforniaFallColor.com kicks into high gear today, with autumn officially arriving yesterday.

In the Eastern Sierra, that is particularly evident up Rock Creek and Hilton Creek Canyons, south of Mammoth Lakes and Lundy Canyon to the north, where color spotters Josh Wray and Christine Osborne took these photos. The color there is still mostly patchy, though approaching […]
