OCTOBER 2024 LEAF PEEPING UPDATE!
Fall leaves are officially BACK in June Lake Loop and the surrounding Mammoth area lakes right now! If you want to take in the glorious golden tapestry of autumn in California’s Eastern Sierras, now is the time to go. Just a few hours north of LA by car, it’s a great trip for families, friends or a romantic weekend getaway. If you’re ambitious like us, you can see it all in a single day, soak in each gorgeous sight and still be back cozy in your own bed by night. Details for planning your own California autumn leaf peeping adventure below.
*Being human note: please be mindful to take any trash with you and leave all natural grounds as you found them.*
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Heaven on Earth, where angels sing from atop endless trees of glittering gold as far as the eye can see, then be sure to make your plans NOW to head up to Mammoth’s June Lake Loop and take in all the epic majesty of the Sierra Fall Colors. The height of the fall foliage bloom is short, just a few weeks from when the Aspen trees set ablaze in all their bright yellow glory and when those first few winds blow the leaves from the trees. Keep an eye on the Visit Mammoth and Mono County Tourism sites for updates. This is one California adventure absolutely not to be missed!
