We may have been a week early this year. Still a nice trip.

Thanks Bill for the TR.

You did see some color .I think you are right a bit early.

We went up Ebbetts Pass area last week and very little color.

Nice color in the Dogwoods at Big Trees grove.

Nice trip Bill. We had planned to go to the eastern Sierras but tucked tail when we saw highs were expected to be in the mid 40's while we were there. We always see pop-up campers on 395. Apparently there is some correlation between our taste in campers and where we like to go with them.

Great report. Here are a couple links. The 2nd one being an open photographers report of the color status. My son follows it. The 1st one gets updated every Wednesday.

Nice trip reports guys! Glad you did because as I was backing out of my drive way to head down there on that Friday before you guys left, I thought " gee. the weather guy on tv was talking about rain and how cold is was going to be down that way (right Ted)"  and "boom" I turned west instead of east and soon found myself headed down the Feather River HW and on the way to the coast !Just got back here the other day and the coast was nice!  Colors seem to be a little late here in Lassen and Modoc counties this year. I might just go to one of the near by cgs this week and enjoy the local color!

Thanks for the great post, it got me looking forward to our planned November trip down 395 (not for fall colors).

I enjoyed your report Bill, thanks for posting it. Glad you got out. Fall color is muted here this year- we haven't made a trip to see it yet.

Bill, we both always enjoy your trips, thanks again for sharing with us! It has been an interesting year in regards to aspen colors. Some places are very nice but many are hit and miss. In the big picture you can never go wrong traveling on the east side. Thanks for the tip on the restaurant at Convict Lake.

We were on generally the same route during the same week from north to south. Maybe we passed one another! Our southern destination was Rock Creek. Colors were varied but pretty good in places mostly at medium elevation. Not many people except at Convict Lake. A few images on the way south.
