In the fall the larch turn a golden color before the needles fall off, and in some places they make up a lot of the forest, intermixed with the pines and fir. The greenhorn looked up in the ridge and asked "what are all those dead trees?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larix_laricina We had the eastern larch where I grew up and called it tamarack. Usually it's a scrubby little tree and is mixed in with other trees, some deciduous, so it doesn't stand out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_larch The Western larch is much larger and really stands out.
