This year, it seemed the larches just weren’t going to happen for me. But thanks to the late-turning Western larch, low and behold!

Mind the (Sourdough) Gap
The PNW has a tiny window–sometimes a non-existent one–between when fall color is out and when they either fade or get covered by snow. Mama Boots and I decided to squeeze one last colorful hike in and we still had some snow!
Fall Hikes: Leaf Peeping and Color Seeking!
Okay, I’ll admit it: I am a basic, fall-loving gal. Give me football, pumpkin spice lattes, and some leaves changing colors. I love everything about fall–including fall hiking here in the PNW.
Larch March to Tiffany Mountain
A larch hike…on a gorgeous WEEKEND day in October…WITHOUT crowds? They do exist!
Larch Madness at Cutthroat Pass & Lake
The larches are coming, the larches are coming! The stunning larch trees are starting to turn (or have already), so now is the time to hit the road! What are you waiting for?
Granite Mountain
In the midst of buying a house and moving, it seemed I’d never catch up to my blog! Luckily (?) a sick day has knocked me on my rear, unable to do anything but sip fluids and write.
Larch Madness at Heather-Maple Pass
After being on my wish list for years, I finally got to do Heather-Maple Pass Loop. This hike checked all of my boxes, and despite its exploding popularity, it’s a top-three favorite hike for sure.
