Calphoto’s California Fall Color also has some updates and  a reminder that : “Tioga Pass (Route 120 through Yosemite over to Highway 395) may, from time to time this fall, close because of snow. You can call (800) GAS-ROAD and key in “120” to check road conditions before you go.”

Plumas County,CA is predicting peak color the last two weeks of October but is starting to show color in some places.  For updates and  current reports go to Awesome Autumn and blackoaknaturalist
