Northern California's Fall Colors Peak Early Amid Dry Spell
• Fall foliage in Northern California, particularly the Eastern Sierra, is peaking earlier than usual due to dry spring conditions.
• Areas like Bishop Creek and Sagehen Summit are showcasing vibrant fall colors, with the peak expected to last until mid-November.
• Other regions, including Yosemite and Napa Valley, will reach their peak foliage later in the season, offering extended viewing opportunities.
Early fall foliage graces Eastern Sierra
Northern California's fall foliage season has arrived earlier than expected, with peak colors already gracing the Eastern Sierra. The vibrant yellows and reds of the aspens are currently on full display in areas such as Bishop Creek and Sagehen Summit. Experts attribute this early peak to the drier spring conditions experienced across the region. These conditions have stressed the trees, causing them to change color sooner than in previous years.
