He rode along Hideaway Road and Round Valley Road to the Round Valley reservoir, then up from there to the top, and back down to Canyon Dam near Lake Almanor.
He found the Canyon Dam side not as far along with weeks to go until peak color. Though the dogwoods are coming along and bigleaf maples are half way there.
River bottoms along Wolf Creek in Greenville are full of yellows and reds beside Hideaway Road.
A tree that is often confused (wild locust) are in full yellow. Jeff reports that the higher you go in the area, the longer it seems the color will take to peak, though the valley floor is turning fast.
