Fantastic!

The best opportunities for leaf color last week were at the 2nd campground turnoff when driving from Lee Vining to Tioga Pass. A great stand of birches is right next to the highway but more can be reached by following that side road.

The 'magic time' around the Tuolumne Meadows starts between 3 and 4 pm and remains until dusk. The granite starts to glow in the lower light and the wind dies down.

Good luck.

Some great fall color photos, Igor. I also think that area is the place to be at this time of year. We are having fall's display Up North, too...with the hardwoods leading the show. Isn't it grand?



I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Stayed at Aspen Campground just before it closed for the season. Our favorite spot especially at the price = US$7.00 per night. Then went to Convict Lake for a few more to enjoy the walk to the head of the lake. fond memories till next season.



Que bueno es descansar despues de no hacer nada

The next great opportunity will be the first snowfall in Yosemite Valley. That's an awesome experience. The only problem is staying warm.

Speaking of staying warm - The days near Mono Lake were just wonderful, absolutely wonderful. But the nights. Oye. It was around 36 just before sunrise.

As you struggle with the lowering temperatures the most difficult decision is whether to open your warm bag and put on those cold sweatpants and shirt or stick with the status quo and wait it out until sunrise with it's warm rays.
