Amphitheater Mountain Showing Bands of Color

Some time ago I visited the eastern Pasayten Wilderness in early October to catch the larches turning bright orange. I got lucky and had great weather and caught the trees at the perfect time.

As you can see the larch inhabit a specific altitude and when they turn create a band of orange against the green of the other trees…

Amphitheater Mountain connects to Cathedral Peak at Cathedral Pass. The hike is approx. 30 miles from where you park the car…well worth the hike.

Definitely on my list for this summer (and fall!)
