Tahoe Turns
Santa Cruz County color spotter Nicole Coburn traveled to North Lake Tahoe with her husband, Chris, and boys, Andrew and Bennett, reporting that fall color is turning at the lake with aspen and maples developing quickly, yet still a week away from peak color.
She reported the autumn weather at North Lake Tahoe to be “glorious.”
Nearby in Truckee, Herb Hwang found aspen transitioning from lime to yellow along the Truckee River and near the Tahoe Donner ski area.
The old cabin on CA-237, between Northstar and Brockway Summit – a favorite for wedding portraits – is a similar mix of colors.
North Lake Tahoe (6,250′) – Patchy (10-50%)
Truckee (5,817′) – Patchy (10-50%)
