Mono, Plumas and Inyo counties are your best bets for seeing the changing fall colors of native California trees in the first half of October.
In about a week, Kaylor expects many prime spots in the Eastern Sierra to show colors in the aspen and willow trees. One of her favorite ways to see fall colors at their peak is hiking into Lundy Canyon in Mono County, where waterfalls and orange, red and yellow trees stretch up the mountainside.Dakota Snider
Next on the list is the area around June Lake near Mammoth in Mono County, which is a pleasant drive through a chain of lakes surrounded by rugged granite canyons that contrast beautifully with golden-crimson leaves.
The landmark Red Creek Cabin nestled in Hope Valley in fall colors along Highway 88 in the Sierra Nevada.Kaylor noted that during peak conditions, leaf peepers in awe of the fall colors might ignore the traffic as they wander into the road. She recommends parking safely off the road and being careful crossing the street.
Even after the leaves have fallen in the mountains, there are plenty of other opportunities to see fall colors in Northern California. By mid-November, the fall foliage season arrives in coastal California. There is minimal natural fall color, but several Bay Area towns also have streets lined with trees that change color, including Danville, Palo Alto, San Rafael, Campbell, Walnut Creek, Saratoga and Cupertino.lucentius/Getty Images
