Monitor Pass/Antelope Valley Near Peak
EASTERN SIERRA
30-50% — Antelope Valley (Walker, Coleville & Topaz 5000′ – 5300′). Mark Fesko of the Meadowcliff Resort reports that the cottonwoods in the Antelope Valley are turning from the lime green to yellows. Some at completely yellow while others are half & half.
50-75% — Monitor Pass (7000′ – 8300′). Mark’s run up to Monitor Pass, reported partial to full yellow aspen leading up to the summit at 8314′ which is now 75-100% of peak. This is a good weekend to travel over Monitor Pass to the Antelope Valley.
50-75% — Walker Canyon (5400′ – 6000′). Aspen, Cottonwoods and Willows are turning. Mark says lots of yellows and some oranges are starting to pop!
