[font color=\'#000000\']Try calling the Mamouth Lakes, Bishop and/or Lee Vining CofC.  The National Forest Service may have some useful info.[/font]

I was there last week and it had started, so it should be peak right about now.  

BUT NOTE --->  It appeared from what I saw last week, this is going to be a disappointing year for the Lee Vining/June Lakes/Lundy canyon fall color.  My advice would be to check out the areas further south out of Bishop like Lake Sabrina.  

Also, Yosemite looks like it could be promising in a few more weeks...

Cheers,
Jack

Here is a good site for future reference (like next year?):

Sacramento Bee (http://www.sacbee.com/content/travel/projects/leaves/)

Looks like he has some pretty good info there.

[font color=\'#000000\']Does anyone have current info on the Aspen leaves in the area?
Where should I start?
Am I too late?
Thanks,

[font color=\'#000000\']I just returned from June Lake today.   The colors along the loop are stunning - yes there are oranges and reds!!. That combined with an overcast sky made for a stupendous Sat.[/font]
