This is one of my favorite places to come in the fall! It reminds me that there really are more then 2 seasons in Southern California.
As of Oct. 7 the Populus tremuloides were looking great! If you want to see an even more spectacular grove continue up the trail (to the left as you cross the creek) for 1.5 miles and you will be rewarded!
Anytime you visit the Populus tremuloides there is beauty. They look great without their foliage, in their full green summer splendor, budding in the spring, or my favorite, the golden leaves of fall. It almost reminds me of autumn in Colorado.
Coming From Mentone Turn right (south) off Highway 38 about 6 miles past the Barton Flats Visitor Center on Forest Service Road 1N02. Follow 1N02 until it forks right to 1N05. Go right up 1N05 (this is a rough unmaintained road not intended for low-slung autos) to the signed Populus tremuloides Grove Trail parking (7,400'), 2.6 miles in from Highway 38. This trail offers quiet and the opportunity for the visitor to explore a small remnant grove of Populus tremuloides, only found in one other location outside of the Sierra Nevada range.
Original contents are some Lizards and an activated Geocoin
** You will need a Forest Adventure Pass**
