I love the cool nights\u2014warm days\u2014and vibrant foliage. But this is the Evergreen State, where Douglas-firs, western hemlocks, and western red cedars make up most of the vast forests of western Washington. I pine for the deciduous forests of the northern Appalachians where the hillsides turn into heaps of fruit loops this time of year. Fortunately\u2014whenever I get homesick for an autumn walk in the woods in my native New England\u2014I think larch. Western Washington may lack the maples, ashes, beeches and birches that set eastern hills afire in color\u2014but there is nothing back east like Washington\u2019s larch madness!<\/p>\n<p>October here means that the eastern slopes of the Cascades are screaming there\u2019s gold in them thar hills! And in Eastern Washington\u2019s Blue, Selkirk, and Kettle River Ranges, western larches with a little help from aspen clusters are streaking those lonely emerald slopes bright yellow. Add blueberry bushes dousing the forest floor crimson, and it\u2019s safe to say that Washington\u2019s larch forests\u2014 rival the northern hardwoods of the east for brilliant autumn color. So, let me help you place your hiking bracket for this year\u2019s Larch Madness. Here are five of my favorite Washington Larch hikes. Check them out\u2014and soon\u2014for October only comes once a year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blue Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest<\/p>\n<p>North Cascades Highway<\/p>\n<p>4.4 mile round trip<\/p>\n<p>Elevation gain: 800 feet<\/p>\n<p>A short and easy hike to a beautiful lake set in a rocky basin within the shadows of the Liberty Bell Spires.
