The June Lake Loop is great for fall colors. However, one issue is the sun is a little lower in the southern direction at this time of year. So, it is either in the direction of the picture you want to take, or barely comes over the mountain side. In this case, the sun is not high enough to clear the lake so I ended up with some shadow on the left side of the picture. Had I come a few hours later that would change some, but I have been in areas that the later in the season you are the sun barely comes over the canyons.
