Aspen Gold

Golden aspen groves frame the pristine alpine waters

Lake Sabrina showcases the Eastern Sierra's spectacular autumn display when quaking aspens transform the landscape into a golden amphitheater. This reservoir, built in 1908, sits at 9,130 feet elevation and serves as the gateway to the John Muir Wilderness. The contrast between the shimmering golden aspens and the deep blue alpine water creates one of California's most stunning fall color displays, drawing photographers from around the world.
