Good Timing
When people talk about fall color in the western US, they're referring to the changing Aspen leaves.
Here, in Aspendell, a suburb of Bishop, California, I found a stand of Aspen that was peaking, as you can see the full range of color in this one section of trees. A couple hundred feet of elevation higher and the leaves were nearly gone, a couple of hundred feet lower and there was no color shift. So, for this location, at least, it was perfect timing.
