As these images attest, fall color is now blazing across Mono County with full peak occurring between 50 and 100% of all areas between 7,500 and 8,000 ft. No matter where you travel in Mono County, color spotter Alicia Vennos reports “the leaves and views are brilliant”.

The June Lake Loop, in particular, is spectacular with aspen that are a blend of yellow, orange-gold and deep red!

Lundy Canyon has gone off, and the Conway Summit, Virginia Lakes, and Bridgeport are also at peak.
North along the West Walker River, the trees are golden.
This coming week promises to be picture perfect as the peak fall color has arrived in full glory!
Fall lodging specials can be found at www.MonoCounty.org
Is this weekend still a good time to visit June Lake area?
Yes, go! It’s at peak and the color will be good for at least another week. Don’t delay or it’ll be gone.
I’ll be leaving on Saturday morning! I will stay at June Lake and plan to visit Rock Creek Canyon, Convict Lake and McGee Canyon.
It should be beautiful!
