Natural History Wanderings

Bishop Creek …Quaking aspen are close to peaking, but not yet

Lake Sabrina was closest …of any location in the Eastern Sierra.

Aspen stands across from Bishop Creek Lodge are mostly wearing kelly green, though splashes of yellow are painting high areas of the canyon.

Of course, that can change rapidly.  Last year, areas of Bishop Creek Canyon went from Just Starting to Peak in a week, and it peaked prior to the first day of autumn (this coming Thursday).

So, anything can happen this week.

GO NOW! – Near Peak (50 – 75%) – Lake Sabrina and areas above 9,500′.

Patchy (10 – 50%) – Bishop Creek Canyon (Below 9,500′)
