The strange season continues! The aspen color turned on schedule up high but quite late down low, and it seems that sheltered and low places like LV canyon are just now where they might typically be a week or more earlier. And now Yosemite Valley colors seem to be arriving a bit earlier than expected. My feeling in the past has been that the YV colors are best right about the very end of October (perhaps the last full week?) through maybe the first few days of November. But here we are with many reports of good color almost a week early. Odd. But I'm going to try to get to the Valley at least briefly this weekend!
