The trees are larch trees. They shed their needles every autumn and are def worth seeing in person sometime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larch

Yup, you are exactly right. September and October in the Enchantments looks just like this. Larches are a deciduous conifers so they loose their chlorophyll just like other deciduous plants! Their needles are also surprisingly soft and spurt out of funny little bulbs.
