The larches don't start until after a relentless 2700' climb up from the trailhead, but once you make it up to the Carne Basin Camp its all jaw-dropping views from there to the summit. Right now is definitely the peak of color but with rain starting again on monday it will quickly fade out so get it while you can!
Getting to the trailhead requires high clearance, good tires and a bit of patience. The dirt road is long and rugged. Not many parking spots in the main lot but a good amount of room for cars to line the road, just please don't block other people in or park so emergency vehicles can't get down the road if need be! It was a beautiful day to be out and lots of other people out enjoying it as well.
