Larches tend to grow in cold climates and mountainous areas and need a lot of moisture so the Canadian Rockies are perfect for them. I also found out that they tend to grow where they have been forest fires. Why do larches turn yellow? Larches turn yellow in the fall because they are saving nutrients to use later.

Banff is the perfect place for larch hikes in Alberta. The National Park is home to tens of thousands of larch trees and their annual transformation from green to golden needles in fall.
