Fall Foliage Road Trip

Anyone got any good ideas for a fall foliage drive?  Where and When?  Seems like Carson Pass is a good candidate.

Don't have time for a mini vacation until after October, so its gotta be a weekend driving thing. 

Thanks for any help.

Hope Valley/Highway 88 and Monitor Pass to a lesser extent are usually very colorful.  the trees don't change at the same time every year, best to call Sorenson's resort http://www.sorensensresort.com/
for peak foilage times.  great lunch stop at Hope Valley Resort/Campground/Cafe/Store too!

Thanks atavuss.  I'll call Hope Valley and see whats up.  although if I'm that close to tahoe, i might be tempted to bring a yak and/or hit the tables ...

lots of lakes in the area to hit, you could always check out the fall foilage while you drive by with your yak on your way to a fishing spot!
