The award-winning website, californiafallcolor.com, known for its user generated content (UGC) from across the Golden State, has a fresh look just in time for the 2024 fall season. While the website may look different, it remains the same reliable resource that users have come to know and love.

Photography is still the highlight of the website, but with improved navigation to the latest posts, tracking fall color across California and planning your own trip is easier than ever.

All of the historic images since the creation of the site in 2009 can still be found on the website. The fall color map is also still available as a useful tool in conjunction with reports throughout the fall season.

New publisher and editor, Lara Kaylor felt it was time that the website received a fresh look. She also worked with a designer to create an official logo for the popular fall color site to further establish the site as a recognizable authority on fall color in California.

“CFC has been serving its audience with amazing information for 15 years,” Kaylor said. “We hope the new look not only helps with navigation, but highlights and elevates the beautiful photography that the site is known for.”

Because 80% of Californians live along the Pacific coast – where there is very little fall color – most Californians don’t think of their state as having much fall color to go out and see. In actuality, however, California has the longest and most varied seasonal change of fall color in North America.

Californiafallcolor.com runs on volunteer color spotters who send in reports throughout the autumn season in California. We are always looking for new spotters and new places with beautiful fall color.
