Review:
Larch Mountain is an extinct volcano, situated above the Columbia River Gorge. The summit is 4061 feet above sea level but only 975 feet higher than the surrounding area. It is 16 miles east of Corbett and accessible between May and November along the paved Larch Mountain Road. This road is closed at the 10 mile mark during winter. In the late 19th century, a timber industry sprang up to exploit the abundance of cedar, hemlock and fir trees in the area. Several Victorian era lumber mills were destroyed by fires and replaced by more modern structures which also burnt down. By 1936, logging stopped due to low stocks.
