Made a quick trip over the hill this morning. Lundy Canyon color was pretty good, June Lakes not so much. A few reds up in isolated canyons. Somewhat unfortunately, the weather is crisp and clear blue skies with zero clouds. It's also warm, I was in a light sweatshirt and stripped it off to just my polo shirt right after this shot... Nicely done. Looks like you were there (Lundy) in the morning? I never got back there this winter. (I’ve been there so many times times that I recognize that rock at the right, not to mention. the set of tilting trees.)
That spot is, fo course, virtually at the road end in the canyon, so it seems about right to see the trees with few leaves by this date. Sometimes the trees further back down the canyon still have decent color at this point. Any luck there?
Dan,
Yes, the entire road up has color now, even a little red in certain areas. I did not spend any time on the creek in the different camp areas, but there are probably dozens of compositions available for someone wanting to work them. My guess is it will be good for at least another week. Yosemite valley is probably about a week away from peak, so next weekend could offer a decent 2-fer.
