Pocaterra Ridge - Alpine Larch Hike - Ben and Larry in the forest of Alpine Larches

            In Calgary, we call it "Larch Season," mid-September to early  October.  Larches are conifers, but their needs turn yellow in the fall, then drop, just like regular trees. Alpine Larches are a unique species that live only in the high alpine, at 2000 m's above sea level or higher. Every autumn, Larry and I seek out different locations where there are lovely forests of these Alpine Larches. They can be quite breathtaking in their airy setting. On this hike, we walked 8.8 kms, gaining only 686 m's in elevation (but we started our hike on the highway at 2200 m's above sea level), taking about 5 hours to do so.
