California Fall Color Report

Each Thursday afternoon until Thanksgiving Day, CaliforniaFallColor.com will issue a report to California travel, outdoor and weather media.

As background, it uses a scale created by The Weather Channel, to provide consistent evaluation of the percent of change for a given area.  Reporters are volunteer “color spotters” who call or e-mail their reports.  CaliforniaFallColor also does its own reporting, though depend on color spotters for the most comprehensive coverage.

Summary Report: The most colorful displays of fall color (red, orange, yellow, gold, lime, dark green) will occur in the Bishop Creek Canyon (west of Bishop) toward South, North and Sabrina Lakes, this weekend. Though, pockets of fluttering yellow and lime can be seen in stands of aspen above 9,000 feet throughout the Eastern Sierra.
