Road Trips
Fall Foliage in California: "Driving inland from the North Coast, Eureka to Redding, is gorgeous," Taggart said. "The pines pop with the deep red leaves of poison oak vines." Other Sunset magazine recommendations for seeing fall color in California: June Lake Loop in the Eastern Sierra; aspen trees in Carson Pass and Hope Valley along state 88 south of Tahoe; Highway 395 from Lee Vining south to Tom's Place; big leaf and vine maple trees along the Avenue of the Giants and Redwood National Park; sycamores in the Southern California coastal canyons; and black oaks in Yosemite Valley." (I think I got this from the San Jose Mercury News travel section.)
