The Best Hikes To See Golden Larches in Washington State

Washington State doesn't offer the same kind of fall foliage that's seen in most areas of the United States - most of the trees are evergreen and so don't change color. However, that doesn't mean there aren't any color changes to see in fall - in fact, hunting for the golden larches is a special PNW treat!

Here's a collection of some of the best larch viewing hikes you can take in Washington - along with videos showcasing their splendor.

If you're looking for more details on these hikes, check out Alpine Wanderlust's hiking guide for larch viewing - which was a huge inspiration behind this list! Links to the Washington Trail Association's hike information pages are also available to springboard your adventure.
