October. The magical time of year when the air is crisp and the leaves suddenly change colors. As you walk the streets, some of the best scents come to life: apple pie, cinnamon, and caramel. You grab your favorite sweater, enjoy a warm mug of hot cider, and head to your neighborhood pumpkin patch. From pumpkin pies to pumpkin spice lattes (PSL), it’s the time of year for pumpkin everything and the internet overloads with #pumpkinspice obsession.

I had plans to visit the east coast this year but due to COVID-19, I wasn’t comfortable getting on a plane yet. Instead I came across this Google Map California Fall Color with the most fitting description “Dude, Autumn Happens Here, Too.” Fall was waiting for me here in California and I wasn’t going to miss it. I packed my bags and headed for a weekend exploring Mammoth and the Eastern Sierras. Thank you Wandrd for sending me a PRVKE camera bag and HEXAD Carryall Travel Duffle which was perfect for this trip! At the bottom of this post, I included a list of my favorite places to eat and drink in Mammoth; there is also a list of resources I used to help track the fall colors!
