Fall is definitely here in the Eastern Sierra.  The trees are changing colors and the summer crowds are gone.  Fall is a great time of year if you like beautiful scenery and solitude.  The fall colors are peaking right now and it is a great time to hit the trails.  We did get the first snow of the season on the 4th of October and this week should follow up with an even bigger storm.  We got about 6 inches on the 4th and forecasters are calling for multiple feet this week.  The storm should be a warm one with high snow levels and hopefully sierra cement to give us a good starting base.  Stay tuned to upcoming blogs.  The snow is expected to start tomorrow and with a big storm the mountain might open before the projected starting date.  Attached are a few fall pictures from Reds Meadow area as well as Rock Creek.  Enjoy.
