Re: [OM] this week's hike

> Why are the needles on these trees yellow?
They are larches. They inhabit higher elevations on the eastern side of the 
range and put on quite a show in the fall. They are the reason the pup and I 
(well, at least me :) ) hiked up there last week and the week before. See more 
in my Hikes folder.

There are plenty of areas of bug kill though but they look brown. Also a lot of 
acres burned in the past few years. The highway that I use for access was 
closed much of the summer when a fire burned across it.
