AdventuresNW
I find nothing more invigorating than a mountain adventure in the fall. At this time of year, temperatures are comfortable, the bugs are gone, salmon swim upriver to spawn, and birds fly overhead on their southern migration. Glorious alpine meadows feature red, orange, and yellow foliage, while ripe blueberries provide trailside refreshment. And nothing tops the iconic larches glowing like golden torches at tree line on the eastern crest. It’s prime time in the North Cascades, and for me, absolutely unforgettable.
