Autumn Foliage (Olympus Photos) - Humboldt-Toiyabe/Lee Vining

This blog post contains photos of Sierra Nevada aspen tree autumn foliage! On 15 October 2022, my parents and I went to Stanislaus National Forest, Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest, Lee Vining, Inyo National Forest, and Yosemite National Park in California. We drove on State Route 108, U.S. Route 395, and State Route 120 to look at autumn foliage. I took photos with my phone, my Olympus mirrorless camera, and my Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Travel Tip: Do not speed on US-395 (and don't speed in general). California Highway Patrol frequently catch speeders this highway. My parents and I, when we visit Mono Lake and the Eastern Sierras, we'd always see cops pulling over speeders. I've also been told by other photographers and travelers that this is fairly common. Remember you are passing through rural towns out in the middle of nowhere... This is where the cops make their money. 😁 If your vehicle has cruise control, you can put it to good use on this highway (do so at your own risk, if you fall asleep with cruise control on, you can die).

Pacific Crest Trail & SR-108 (Part 4) - Stanislaus/Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest

On June 22nd, 2019, I took a day trip to the Stanislaus National Forest and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in California. I traveled to places along State Route 108. During June, there were still some snow on the mountains, which I got quite some photos of. I split the photos into 4 parts. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Message From The Photographer: I know these photos are from very long time ago. If you have been following me on social media for a while, you'd know I've been dealing with vision loss (not completely blind) for over a year now. My photography work has been slowed down drastically. I hope you all can understand.
