It’s the middle of October and color is peaking in all mountain areas of California. Color has now dropped to the 7,000-foot elevation in the Sierra and Cascades, with peak now occurring throughout Mono County (Eastern Sierra). It is now past peak in the upper reaches of Inyo County’s Bishop Creek Canyon, west of Bishop, though color is appearing in the Owens Valley.
Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains are at full peak with the San Jacintos approaching peak. The Shasta Cascade reports approaching peak in Siskiyou and Plumas Counties at 6,000 to 7,000 feet in elevation. US 101 (Redwood Highway) is at full peak, with spots of color to be seen along the drive.
