The color change can be seen in the early September and peak time is the first week or second week of October. The Bishop area offers a remarkable contrast of fall color thanks to the dense thickets of birches, willows, cottonwoods and aspens with its varied elevations from around 5,000 feet to 10,000 feet. You will be at awed at the striking color display from majestic cottonwood trees, to fiery red and golden aspens draping the high altitude area. Trees are ablaze in hues of bright yellow, orange, gold and crimson. You can take a hike to enjoy the beauty of nature in warm, sunny California weather.
