CalPhoto – Where Photographers Blog Fall Color

Photographer Carol Leigh is again publishing  fall color reports from California photographers on her superb blog, http://www.calphoto.com.   Yesterday, Jason B. reported, “I headed to the east side today for my 4-day fall color trip. Here is what I saw along the way from Sacramento to Bishop via Carson and Monitor Passes and 395:

• Caples Lake: Some gold, but still light green. I plan on stopping here on the way back on Monday.
• Hope Valley: Mainly light green, but some yellow here and there. More yellow and some orange around Sorensen’s.
• Monitor Pass: The big groves at the top are about a third green, a third yellow, and a third orange. It’s a very pretty view.
• Conway Summit/Dunderberg Meadow: The view from 395 has green, yellow, and some orange. The groves along Dunderberg Meadow Rd are pretty but the wind was doing a number on the trees today.
• June Lake Loop: Very green. A little bit of yellow along the road, but most of the color is higher up the slopes.
• Bishop Creek: Lots of nice color from above Aspendell to Lake Sabrina. Didn’t have time to check out North/South Lakes but will do so tomorrow.”
