Sierra Autumn Canvas Pictures
Mono County and the surrounding Eastern Sierra provide the best show of glowing golden-orange-crimson fall colors in the western United States. Fall in the Mammoth Lakes area is a glorious spectacular time of year. The Eastern Sierra region is laced with rugged canyons carved by rushing streams and is home to some of the finest fall color viewing anywhere. Autumn displays of golden aspen mingle with pine forest and contrast with stark granite walls. Cottonwood and willow line stream banks and border alpine meadows. Above it all looms the towering Sierra Nevada mountain range jutting into the azure sky. Fall is the perfect time to visit neighboring Yosemite National Park to see the changing leaves season, not often captured on camera. True to its claim as the longest-lasting autumn show in North America, California’s show of fall color continues into winter with bright color still being seen at sea level throughout the Golden State. The Eastern Sierra is the remote east side of the Sierra Nevada region of California. The desert-like yearly rainfalls compete with small streams draining down from the snow-covered mountains to create a barren land with regions of verdant green. The vast majority of the range lies in the state of California, although the Carson Range spur lies primarily in Nevada. The character of the range is shaped by its geology and ecology. More than one hundred million years ago during the Nevadan orogeny, granite formed deep underground.
