The Tamarack

One thing I love about North Idaho is the trees. They are everywhere. They cover the mountainside with a blanket of deep green. It's beautiful. However, in the fall something even more spectacular happens. The Tamaracks change color. Tamarack trees sort of look like evergreens but in the fall their needles turn yellow and fall to the ground. I had no idea they existed until I met my husband and he explained them to me. It makes for some spectacular views and I think it is one of my favorite things about fall in North Idaho.

This picture doesn't begin to do it justice. Just know that the gold colors are breathtaking!
