Some of our favorite trails for fall colors include:
- Scotts Lake (Lake Tahoe) – This moderate hike near South Lake Tahoe offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and vibrant fall foliage, especially along the upper sections of the trail. The serene alpine lake is framed by golden aspens, making it a perfect spot for a fall day hike.
- Green Creek Trail (Bridgeport) – Just south of Bridgeport, this trail takes you along Green Creek, where you’ll be treated to stunning fall colors and peaceful mountain scenery. Aspens line the creek, and the trail offers access to multiple lakes and alpine meadows, making it a fantastic fall destination.
- Lundy Canyon (near Lee Vining) – Known for its dramatic waterfalls and towering cliffs, Lundy Canyon is a hidden gem for fall hikers. The canyon transforms into a vibrant canvas of yellows and oranges as the aspens turn, and the trail winds past beaver ponds, meadows, and historic mining remnants.
