Golden larch season brings tourism boost to Methow Valley
Original: Golden ‘larch madness’ means green for tourism-starved Methow Valley economy
Each October, the golden larches of Washington's Methow Valley draw crowds of hikers and photographers, and this year's display is bringing welcome money to an economy battered by recent wildfire closures and lost tourist seasons. Local businesses report strong bookings as visitors flock to see the needles turn bright gold in the Cascades, a period locals call 'larch madness'.
Why now: The autumn larch colors are peaking now, filling the valley with visitors and reviving a tourism economy hurt by wildfires and closures.
