Aspens around June Lake
Fall colors usually arrive in the Mammoth Lakes area around the month of October. June Lake is the most popular photography location for Aspen trees. I have been here when there when every turnout around the lake is occupied by a photographer with his car and camera. It was around lunch time so I stopped in at my favorite resort-The Double Eagle- to have lunch at their restaurant, Eagle's Landing.
Eagles Landing Restaurant is in a perfect location for a view of the mountains surrounding June Lake. From one side of the room are booths with a view of a babbling stream- from the other side are large pine trees. The last time I was here for dinner with my son, Tim- a large raccoon entertained us by climbing the tree until he was so high, we could see him no more. The dining room is large with a high ceiling. One side of the room is enhanced by an immense fireplace. Today it is cool and a fire is burning within.

| Baked Brie with Seasonal Fruit |
I order my favorite appetizer here- Baked Brie with an Apricot Glaze and fresh fruit. It has the perfect colors of fall in the dish and is served with a small loaf of French bread.
My special pleasure was meeting Chef David Morriss. He is talented at his trade and shared with me his plans to expand the menu with innovative dishes for dinner entrees. (He also promised to keep the Baked Brie on the menu as an appetizer). I believe he will be successful in making the restaurant a popular dining experience in the Eastern Sierra.
