Some years back, Plumas County had a great ambassador, Suzi Brakken, who made sure her county wasn’t forgotten when it came to fall color.

Suzi would struggle, however, with the fact that CaliforniaFallColor.com would be reporting peak color on radio and TV in late September when Plumas’ Peak was still weeks away.

Today, Mark Atkinson demonstrated that if you are observant, brilliant spots of color can be found even well ahead of the main show.

Mark admits it’s “Just Starting” in Plumas County, but then this northern Sierra destination is full of surprises, including this preview of Plumas color.
