I think it’s safe to say I will always plan a trip to the North Cascades during the first two weeks of October 🍂✨ It was my first time seeing larches and I couldn’t believe my eyes. The larch tree is a deciduous conifer— like an evergreen but loses its needles. In the cooler months, the larches turn golden before losing their needles. And in this part of Washington it’s quite the phenomenon. People from all over flock to these mountains to witness it 🥹 The trees almost don’t look real. You’ll find larches in parts of Central Europe, the boreal forests further north on the continent, British Columbia and even in parts of New Hampshire and Ohio 💛 Have you seen larches before? #explorewashington #explorewashstate #pnw #larches #okanogancountry

The North Cascades never disappoint, especially in the fall 💛 I did a few classic hikes along state route 20 this year… along with 927374 other people. But I get it, I get why people come here in the fall. The contrast of colors, the craggy peaks, blue skies, golden sunrises and pink sunsets — this place is magic. #okanogancountry #winthropwa #explorewashington #explorewashstate
