Last weekend, we passed by Mono county on our trip to South Lake Tahoe for fall color. Even though we didn't plan anything for June Lake and Lee Vining area but we were in for a big treat. Every other year, we always miss the peak of the season in this area. We either went too early or too late. But this year, it was just perfect. It was a cool late Sunday afternoon with a lot of cloud in the sky. First we stopped at Conway Summit and the viewpoint was just off the Highway 395. You can take this photo even from your car and that was an amazing thing. We loved how the patchy clouds create different light and dark area on the ground. Then we drove off to June Lake loop.

By the time we got to June Lake loop, it was already late. Most of the road was in the shade already. However, it was the best time to photograph the area. When foliage is at the peak, we find it more colorful in soft-light or in the shade. In addition, there was not a lot of traffic at all. So it wasn't hard to take photo
in the middle of the road (I'm not recommending anyone to try this,
please be careful).
These photos were taken only last week (10/13/2013). So, it is still peaking right now. It's not too late to go this weekend.
