Usually for late September and early October I’m off looking for peak color aspen. but this autumn, as I mentioned previously, I wanted to do something different. I hoped to photograph larch, a deciduous pine, at peak color and what better backdrop for peak larch color than the Canadian Rockies. I can’t believe I had never ventured into Canada before, but I was in love with the scenery immediately. The hike to this location was popular but not as crowded as I expected based on everything I’d read (it was still busy though). The light was a bit challenging and I certainly would have liked a few clouds, but the color in the larch was stunning and the scenery couldn’t have been better.
