Sierra fall colors

Aspens in Lundy Canyon, Eastern Sierra Nevada. September 26, 2004.

On this weekend’s quick Sierra trip I came close to hitting the peak of the autumn aspen colors – I think that the real peak may be perhaps a week away still.

This photo was taken in Lundy Canyon, which is just north of Lee Vining and Mono Lake, and up a very narrow dirt road. But you can see these colors in many places on the east side of the Sierra right now.

One of the most spectacular stands of aspen trees is on top of Monitor Pass between Markleeville and Hiway 395.
