“In the wide glacial valley on the west side of Seeley Lake, in the Lolo National Forest of Montana, is the finest stand of western larch in the Northwest—in the world, one might say,” Koch wrote. “Fortunately preserved from logging operations, which removed the timber from adjacent lands over thirty years ago, this tract of several hundred acres is as unique and as beautiful in its own way as the better-known redwoods or the sugar pines of the Sierra.”
