Golden larch season brings tourism boost to Methow Valley
Original: Golden ‘larch madness’ means green for tourism-starved Methow Valley economy
The Methow Valley in Washington State is seeing a surge of visitors drawn to the autumn goldening of alpine larches, a brief seasonal display that has become a major attraction known locally as 'larch madness.' After years starved of tourism revenue, local businesses are welcoming the influx of travelers hitting trails, lodges, and restaurants during the peak foliage window.
Why now: The short golden larch season is drawing crowds that provide a much-needed economic lift to a tourism-dependent valley.
