Oh lawd

I went there a few years ago. Visited forks and Hoh rainforest as well. Can’t wait to go back

Same location in late July, morning and afternoon

Beautiful array of colors. Awesome image

That’s funny.

I haven't been here long enough to know for sure, but it does seem to be a thing.

Pretty sure they have more dam removals planned. Can't have fish without flowing rivers

It’ll be a few years before I can make it out there, but when I do I’ll remember this. Glad I mentioned Elwa - was speaking to an EXPERT. Hopefully the research from this will lead to unleashing other rivers, bringing back even more fish runs and restoring a bunch other habitats.

Is that a common term in Fake London, ON?

My wife and I are Missouri transplants who live in northern Utah.

We spent yesterday snowshoeing in the Wasatch Mountains. There was a brilliant blue sky, bright sunshine, and beautiful white powder covering the landscape. We finished the day by feasting on some Mexican food at our local favorite restaurant.

Life is good. We love it here.

Larches are deciduous coniferous, i.e., pine trees that lose their needles in the fall.

That's what drove me to live out here actually. My family has been involved in the restoration for the past 6 years or so. My prego wife still is working in restoration, so we joke even our kid is involved.

I even grow native plants to guerilla plant out. 84 tree saplings, hundred lupin seedlings, trailing blackberry starts, ex..

Next time you go up to the upper dam. Hike out to Boulder creek on the west side of the river. There is a terrace that is extremely bare, mostly just pebbles and sand. It's the control plot for the restoration project and wasn't planted. Pretty cool to see the science of restoration biology at work. Without the native plantings, nature can take a while to recolonize. Native plantings really do help in this massive restoration projects.

Dude! That beach is gorgeous. I just want to visit now, but surfing there would be awesome (and freezing)! I’d be sure to keep an eye out for sneaky logs.

As a side note, I’ve wanted to visit that area for a few years to check out the Elwa River restoration efforts, which is such a cool project.

That sounds like an incredible trip! Visiting any one of those places would be a great experience all by itself.

Nice pic! Here are some pics I took in the same spot a couple years ago.

The falls in the pic you shared looks much smaller this year. I'm guessing since we've had less rain and it hasn't been as cold.

That is actually a natural color of larches in the fall. This doesn't look color-graded (at least to an unrealistic degree)

Ray tracing on.

Altus Plateau

Correct. These trees are larches and look perfectly healthy. Every fall they turn yellow/gold. It has nothing to do with wildfires

I live here :)

Sounds like an effervescent and noteworthy time thank you friend
