California Fall Color has a fall color report for Yosemite. Here are the highlights

Tioga Road, Yosemite National Park (Peak to Past Peak) – Aspen at the highest elevations have lost color, though those near 7.000′ still show yellow. Willows and shrubs are showing gold and crimson.

Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park (Patchy – 10 – 50%) –Orange black oak, rose-colored dogwood, golden black cottonwoods and cadmium yellow bigleaf maple are only beginning to show their coming beauty. Look for Yosemite Valley to be lovely the last week of October and first two weeks of November (weather permitting).
