As Good As It Gets

Intake II, M Fork Bishop Creek Canyon (10/6/19) Dylan Ren

Right now, Bishop Creek Canyon is as good as it is gonna get this autumn.

Although it hasn’t peaked all at once, as some observers would like, the peak that is occurring is gorgeous.

Color spotters Jean Pan and Dylan Ren were among those who had delayed a trip to the Eastern Sierra, cancelling a trip the previous week because they’d read that it hadn’t yet peaked.

“Then suddenly I read that it was about to peak!” Jean wrote. They drove from San Diego to Bishop Creek Canyon on Saturday and, “It was beautiful as always!”

Here’s what they saw:

Anirudh Natekar found North Lake, Lake Sabrina and South Lake Road all bursting with color and predicted the June Lake Loop and Aspendell could peak within a week. Here’s what he saw on Monday:
