This past week in Mono County brought a mix of snow, rain, sun and clouds, but with little to no wind, meaning that autumn color continues to light up the Eastern Sierra. Color spotter Alicia Vennos writes, “The icing on top of it all is the fresh topping of snow on Eastern Sierra peaks that […]
Not to be confused with the better-known Santa Cruz Mountain town of Scotts Valley, Scott Valley is located in western Siskiyou County in the northern Shasta Cascade Region.

Mammoth Creek has filled with gold, as aspen turn yellow, orange and red. Mammoth Lakes color spotter Josh Wray sent these shots taken yesterday of Peak color along Mammoth Creek. There appears to be enough lime green still among the aspen that the color should continue to develop through the weekend and into the following week, […]

Color spotter Philip Reedy traveled north of Dunsmuir on I-5 to find color along the Upper Sacramento River.

Sims Flat is coming into its own, […]

Walnut orchards west of Davis along I-80, near corn mazes, farm stands and pumpkin patches, are starting to show color. Drive north […]
