This is my sixth time on this trail and in Headlight Basin. Due to life and weather conditions, I’ve not been able to get to this fall hike which has been on my bucket list for over twenty years, until now. It was even more spectacular in person than any of my old guidebooks or online photos could ever do justice. The larch are at their absolute golden glory right now as are the huckleberry and every other native plant which is inclined to display its spectacular autumn colors.
Pika were chirping, the wind was absent (a rarity up here) and the weather was in the mid-50s. So perfect and I’m deeply grateful for having had this iconic Alpine Lakes Wilderness experience.
