Alice, I love this! I live near the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, and it's one of the few places in Montana where larch grows thick and turns itself over to gold each fall. It's a sight to behold on the mountain. This brought me back to the high gold arches of September, thank you so much for sharing!
I used to take my ecology students to the Sauk-Cedarburg Bog in October. We also read Leopold's Sand County Almanac and his Smokey Gold essay. The pitcher plants would be scarlet and the leaves would be gold. This fall I have been doing an ARC GIS survey of some sections of the Ice Age Trail and have been delighting in the open woods and fall colors. We may be past peak, but the woods are still a treat.

I would love to see the larches with a backdrop of mountains! Sounds like I need to add the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness to my travel wishlist!
I have a guest room and every lat/long you could ever need ;)
Thank you for this pleasant excursion.

I haven't been to the Sauk-Cedarburg Bog, but I'll have to add it to my list!
