Where we have the Larch Pilgrimage from Moraine Lake (in the Valley of the Ten Peaks), up to the Larch Valley and Sentinel Pass. I found out afterwards that this is some sort of Rocky Mountains tourist mecca – well, more accurately I found out as we were walking, and there were all these other people walking next to us.
“What are you all doing here?” I asked.
“This is a nice hike,” I said, “but I’ve done many others that were also nice, and no-one else was doing them.”
“It’s written up!” they said “in the guide books and on the internet”.
“Aah,” I replied.
I did see a larch. Several in fact.
