VLOG 218: June Lake Loop Fall Colors (Eastern Sierra Fall Foliage)

This week we're exploring California's beautiful Fall colors along the June Lake Loop, a scenic 16 mile drive along State Route 158, which has been affectionally called the “Switzerland of California”.
Located against the southern rim of the Mono Basin, south of Lee Vining and north of Mammoth Lakes, this wonderful drive takes you besides crystal blue alpine lakes, towering granite peaks, and through groves of aspen that are radiant with the current Autumn season. Four beautiful lakes along this drive offer unique settings and a variety of activities depending on the season.
The horseshoe-shaped canyon found here was formed by glacial activity and is reminiscent of nearby Yosemite National Park’s beauty. The June Lake Loop has been attracting fishermen, hunters, and hikers since the late 19th Century, but it was long inhabited by the Paiute Indians of the Mono Basin long before that.

When do you think is the right time to visit Mammoth lakes and bishop for fall colors? This weekend of Oct 14-15 or 21-23?

From the way things looked on Friday I would suspect this weekend most Bishop areas will be stunning, if you see the video I posted Friday you can see how colorful things already were last week…but we’ll see what the winds/temps etc have in store.
