Description
My friend and I were following the google maps of fall colors, and one patch was indicated on the Monitor Pass, accessible through a narrow dirt road, California, USA. The place did not disappoint but it was a patch of trees against a hill. Looking back, however, behind us, there was highway 89 leading the eye towards a sea of mountains….
Fall colors in the Eastern Sierras of California are patchy and are mostly confined to Aspens on the hills and along rivers and creeks we can also find cottonwood. Both belong to the genus Populus in the family Salicaceae. There are about 25–30 species of deciduous flowering plants in this group, native to most of the Northern Hemisphere.
