A lone larch in its golden colors of autumn, amid all the firs on the high southern slopes of Mt. Pend Oreille. Beyond it is an unnamed peak that the trail skirts around on the right/west.

Near the ridge top, heading north on Pend Oreille Divide Trail, the views of forested hills and valleys to the west are awe inspiring. In the far distance where the clouds meet the sky, are Idaho's Selkirk Mountains.
Mountains far into the distance. Lake Pend Oreille (upper center) is also below in the distance. Looking southwest from high on Mt. Pend Oreille.

Looking up towards Mount Pend Oreille's summit from the trail not far below it.
Idaho's Selkirk Mountains meet the sky in the far distance to the west. Seen from Mount Pend Oreille summit in the Cabinet Mountains. Fir forested foothills dotted with yellow larches in October, are seen below.
Mount Pend Oreille summit block with scary cliffs on its north side. More of the Cabinet Mountains can be seen in the distance to the east.
Pend Oreille Divide Trail continues north along the ridge by dome topped Mt. Willard (center), then around unnamed pointy peak (center right), followed by Mt. Purdy that's hidden behind Mt, Williard. Forested South Callahan Creek drainage below (right).
Mount Pend Oreille, 6755 ft., approaching it from the south. The trail up it can be seen faintly if one looks closely.
