Orange Crush

Whitney Portal Rd., Alabama Hills, Inyo County (11/15/17) Ursula Esser

Some years back, Japanese were asked what came to mind when they heard the word “California.”

You’d think it might be “Hollywood,” “Yosemite” or “Golden Gate Bridge,” but it was Oranges.

Associating orange with California certainly seems right on the first day of autumn. At least, that’s what the editor of Westways, AAA’s legendary SoCal Auto Club travel magazine, must have thought when headlining October’s story about California fall color, “Orange Crush.”

While you’re at it, consider joining the auto club. They do a lot of good helping motorists who are out searching for fall color.

      All photographs on CaliorniaFallColor.com are dated as to when they were taken. This shot was taken on Nov. 15, 2017. However, peak color has been seen as late as early January in the Southern Eastern Sierra.
