The High Country of Yosemite Mariposa is the first to open its curtain on the stage of fall color. Leaf Peeping the High Country Brilliant yellow aspen leaves grace Yosemite Mariposa County’s high-country. Have to admit it’s kind of pretty in fall…from a distance!
Poison Oak at lower elevations (red/purple).Heath/Goose/wild berries (orange, yellow, red).Here’s a list of what fulgent foliage to look for and their autumnal appearances: Photo: Theresa Hoįulgent, as in shining brightly (we had to look it up, too). Color Wheel: Quick Guide To Yosemite Mariposa’s Fulgent Flora The dogwoods that fill with white blossoms in the spring turn rosy peach colors in autumn. From our subalpine peaks to rolling Gold Country foothills, this festival of foliage can be enjoyed within an easily navigable distance over a period of weeks, even months at some locations, and is complemented by comfortable lodging and tasty food that make the leaf chasing experience second to none. With its wide range of elevations and mixed forests, Yosemite Mariposa offers a rare opportunity to “chase” these sprays of colorful leaves as they tremble and dance in the breeze. Translation? That the lower elevations are the first to see the unfolding of spring, while the higher elevations are the first to see the brilliant effects of autumn’s cooler temperatures and shorter days. There’s a saying here: spring marches uphill, fall marches down. And whether you call it leaf chasing, leaf peeping, or just escaping to the mountains for some crisp clean air and electric hues, there’s nothing like a Yosemite Mariposa fall getaway to restore balance and bring all that you love and cherish into clear focus. This changing of the seasons brings fewer visitors and more locals out and the opportunity to immerse yourself in one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular shows. As chilled lemonade gives way to steaming pumpkin spice lattes and flip flops are swapped out for puffy ugg boots, the transition from summer to autumn is a special time of year in the High Sierra.
