Modoc County Courthouse (10/13/16) Lorissa Soriano
Lorissa Soriano sends this shot of the Modoc County Courthouse with a brace of peaking color.

Lassen Volcanic National Park guide Shanda Ochs advocates that the willows around Manzanita Lake near the northwest entrance are “mostly golden, some still holding light green.”
She doesn’t expect many leaves to remain after this storm. In its defense, our experience is that leaves that have not yet turned are still sturdy enough to stay on branches, but those at peak fly away to parts unknown.

A cottonwood beside the Ranger Station is peaking and the short walk around Manzanita Lake is not only a delight, but splattered with color there.
Our verdict? The Shasta Cascade is guilty of having fall color.
