Some fall color reports are starting to trickle in. Dan Mitchell summarized some of them and offered good tips about finding the latest information on his blog. I'll second his recommendation to check out the CalPhoto discussion group on Yahoo. My wife and I made our annual trip to the Millpond Music Festival (wonderful, small, family-oriented festival) this past weekend, and on the way back we drove up to Convict Lake. There's not much color there yet—just a little bit way up high. We saw a few patches of color here and there from Highway 395, all at high elevations. This is typical for the third week of September, so autumn in the eastern Sierra seems to be on a normal time schedule for far, meaning the first good color will probably arrive in about a week at the higher spots.

For the Bishop Creek drainage it's looking like the first week/wknd of Oct will be pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cory!
ReplyDeleteMichael: Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the aspen season - and thanks for the link back to my site.
ReplyDeleteI'll be making my first (very brief) visit of the season on Sunday after joining five photographer acquaintances at Cathedral Lakes on Friday night thru Sunday morning. Then I'll be in the easter Sierra at least a couple more times before mid-October.
Take care,
Dan
Just noticed that one of the "five" is included in your links in the sidebar. I wonder if you know who it is? :-)

You're welcome Dan. Charlie is the only one I can think of. He did mention coming to the park, but didn't say why, sneaky guy.
