Sarah’s photos show the transitional character of mixed aspen and cottonwoods with lots of green evolving to yellow and gold.
McGee Creek Canyon, Eastern Sierra (9/29/09)
30-50% — McGee Creek Canyon. There’s still a lot of green. Some aspen groves are colored from 75 – 100% gold while others seem not to changing at all (0-25%).
Words of advice: don’t just look up to the trees… look down as well, lots of color is found among the grasses, sedges and brush, particularly in drainages. Enjoy your hike, as Sarah did, email your dated photos to us and we’ll post them here for all to see. Happy fall color hunting!
