Our eleventh anniversary in October made a great excuse to make the Golden Lakes Loop while it was still golden. Those larches glowed so brightly, and getting to camp among their splendor and tread the fallen needles along the trail made for a trip we will never forget.
The most magical moment of the trip was one I didn’t capture. We woke up around midnight and stepped out of our tent into moonlight bathing the larches. I didn’t even try to get a picture. I could not have done it justice.
