Here are some sites to keep an eye on for fall colors in the eastern sierras: http://www.californiafallcolor.com/ http://www.gdanmitchell.com/ http://calphoto.com/fall.htm It appears that the colors are changing a bit early this year. Second week of October would be my uneducated guess for prime. Places to look are Virginia Lakes, Twin Lakes, June Lake Loop, Lundy Canyon, Convict Lake, and, down in Bishop, Bishop Creeks (were the best last year) and Rock Creek near Mammouth. Michael Frye's sight might be up to date to let you know what's going on in Yosemite. I found beautiful colors at the Pohone Bridge and up on Crane Flat Rd. Also the walk to Mirror Lake is flat and beautiful by the upper Merced there. Easy walk, beautiful water and sometimes color. I'm totally jealous!!!! Have fun, Bob Lundy Canyon area near Mono Lake and Yosemite, Rock Creek south of Mammoth Lakes, , McGee Creek, Convict Lake, and the June Lake Loop. Around Bridgeport, you won't want to miss Virginia Lakes, Twin Lakes and the Conway Summit. The West Walker River is also lined with gold.
