California Fall Color reports

“a rainbow of colors” in the neighborhoods of Chester at Lake Almanor with bigleaf and rocky mountain maples – as well as some exotics in gardens – showing, “everything from lime green to lemon, gold, umber, and cranberry.”

Lake Almanor is located along the Feather River in northern California, where the northern Sierra Nevada and southern Cascade ranges meet.

Three ecosystems overlap there, the two mountain ranges and the high deserts of northern California and Nevada.  This results in a mix of plant and animal life that makes it one of the most fascinating corners of California, and provides for a vibrant mix of fall colors.
