There is a legend in the Forest Service about a brass hat who came from 
the east. 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?"

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.

The Western larch is much larger and really stands out.
