I am amused by the Larch mania. We've done a couple fall hikes that happened to be in larch season (Rowe Lakes in Waterton was spectactular) but never intentionally chased the changing larch.
Realised why driving the Crowsnest highway near Thanksgiving a couple years ago - there are sections of entire mountains covered in larches down there! Yes the experience is a bit different, but if folks miss the Alberta alpine larch experience, take a fall drive down through the Kootenays (all the way to Nelson).
