The Redwood Highway – US 101 (Patchy – 10 – 50%) – Color is spotty along the highway with the best color showing between Ukiah and Willits. The color was beautiful, though spotty along US 101. Best color is seen between Willits and Ukiah, near the highway, but it is patchy. Brilliant yellow, chartreuse, orange and lime are seen in the bigleaf maple, black oak and wild cucumber.
Patchy – Sacramento County (10 – 50%) – Cottonwood and sycamore are showing lime, yellow and chartreuse throughout Sacramento County. Still, way short of nearing peak, though lovely none the less.
Hot Springs Mt. black oaks are a lot further along than he thought they’d be. There’s a large mixed forest of oaks and pine on Hot Springs Mountain that are near peak.
Laguna Mountains, the higher elevations as patchy.
Palomar Mountain and Julian are also patchy.
