Steph_Abegg Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) When autumn arrives in the Enchantments, the basin turns golden as the Alpine Larch trees prepare to shed their needles. This is a spectacular scene like no other. Yesterday I hiked through the Enchantments (Snow Lakes TH - Nada Creek Route - Tamarack Meadows - Prusik Pass - Enchantment Basin - Snow Lakes TH). The larches were spectacular, so I decided to create a "Larch Tree Trip Report" on my website: http://sites.google.com/site/stephabegg/home/tripreports/washington/northcascades/larches A couple of photos: Flaming larches in Tamarack Meadows below North side of Temple Ridge: Remnants of Ice Storm, Yellow Larches, and Prusik Peak: Again, the link to my "Larch Tree Trip Report" on my website: http://sites.google.com/site/stephabegg/home/tripreports/washington/northcascades/larches Edited October 25, 2009 by Steph_Abegg Quote
