Trinity Continues to Surprise
Trinity County color spotter Jeri Rangel toured the backroads of her Shasta Cascade haunt, this past Halloween weekend, to find crabapples peaking, vineyards nearing peak and horses galloping past peaking cottonwood in spirited celebration.
Bowerman Meadow, Coffee Creek and Swift Creek, all in Trinity County, continue to develop surprising color. Travel Hwy 3 north of Weaverville (Hwy 299) to see it.
Elsewhere in the Shasta Cascade region, Shanda Ochs reports that alder and willows edging Manzanita Lake at the northwest entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park (Hwy 44) have lost half their peak color.
Gabriel Leete sends these shots from Anderson (Shasta County) and Indian Falls (Plumas County).
Anderson River Park shows a mix of native wild cucumber transitioning from green to lime to chartreuse.
Indian Falls, along Indian Creek leading to the N. Fork of the Feather River, is edged with brilliant orange-red and yellow Indian Rhubarb along with blackberry brambles and pockets of yellow-orange willows.
