Fall Update #7
Covered alot of ground yesterday. So this is how things look if you are coming up this weekend. June Lake around the town there is scattered color. Silver Lake and Silver Creek are at least another week from really doing anything.
Further south to Convict Lake the colors on the south shore are picking up a bit and the west is showing more color. By this weekend it may be nice.
McGee Creek is really looking good for this weekend as there is a lot going on in the whole basin.
Rock Creek up to just above Rock Creek Lake has a lot of color. Almost all of the smaller aspen have gone yellow and orange. There are some nice spots.
At Lake Sabrina the smaller aspen on the south shore are yellow and the far west shore is starting to some color. The North Fork of Bishop Creek just above Aspendell is starting to come on strong. Maybe by this weekend it will be good. Nothing much below that.
The South Fork of Bishop Creek is coming along nicely about a mile above Bishop Creek Lodge. The large grove just above the lodge is just now starting to show some color. The willows in a lot of places along the South Fork are already losing their leaves. Aside from this the area should be pretty decent for this weekend.
We are still about a week to ten days out from really prime colors. Today I will head up to North Lake for a look.
If the weather is cooperative you may be okay. The way things look right now June Lake may be prime at that time. And Bodie is always great. Thank you for your comments.
Greg…

Thank you. You are very welcome.
Thanks very much for your updates, Greg. This has become my favorite blog. It’s really useful for planning where to go this weekend and beyond. All the best to you on your own photo adventures!
Thanks again for all of your color updates. They’re so helpful. Looks like that first week of October should be a good one. I’ll be up this weekend as well. I’ve heard North Lake is progressing pretty quickly now.
