Inyo county has fall colors for weeks.
Inyo County, CA
The color change begins at the higher elevations – first in the canyons and alongside lakes and streams in the mountains high above Bishop. Then it flows down into the Owens Valley many weeks later as the nights grow shorter and temperatures colder. This means that you can see colors for weeks as they work their way down in elevation.
