Some areas had very light berries this year, sounds like they are good in some areas and not in others.

:yeah: the South faces were loaded at lower elevations but I'm sure they have been scorched out.

Post by: bearpaw on August 17, 2020, 06:15:56 AM: My wife and friend went up the other day, berries were pretty scattered and picked over, they may have just not found the right spot. They went to a different area the next day and did much better. But there are still berries on if you find the right spot.

Post by: Seabass on August 18, 2020, 02:26:53 PM: I was up there last week and we did really well. We were right around 4,000 feet and south facing BUT we were in some pretty shady areas. It felt like they had just recently turned...not like they were falling off the bushes yet.

Post by: jasnt on August 18, 2020, 08:16:19 PM: I’d agree. Some of the berries I saw where still pale red or green. South facing but I was at 5800- 6500. Raspberries will be ready next week. Few were good but most needed a few days or more
