Description
While hiking the Metolius River, we saw lots of these trees with light green, almost yellow needles. My friend Dan identified them as tamaracks & when I got home, that seemed to match the photos I found of them online & I found one mention of them being common in the region of the Metolius.
Info from Wikipedia:
"Larix laricina, commonly known as the tamarack, hackmatack, eastern larch, black larch, red larch, or American larch. is a species of larch native to Canada, from eastern Yukon and Inuvik, Northwest Territories east to Newfoundland, and also south into the upper northeastern United States from Minnesota to Cranesville Swamp, Maryland; there is also an isolated population in central Alaska The word tamarack is the Algonquian name for the species and means "wood used for snowshoes"."
