So few photographers and color spotters travel CA-49 to its northern terminus, that until today, CaliforniaFallColor.com had never gotten a report from Downieville.

Color spotter Philip Reedy corrected that omission with a first report of yellow bigleaf maple and rust and gold willows appearing at points along the northern Gold Country highway.

Phil noted that while the color is still Patchy, nice color can be found in the Yuba National forest beside Lavezzola Creeks, north of Downieville and at Sardine Lake.

Downieville (CA-49) (2,966′) – Patchy (10-50%)
