Miniature Forest near the Top

<< Previous | Thumbnails | Next >>

As you approach the top of the Elk Knob trail, the trees get shorter, and you enter a "miniature" forest of sorts. Right before popping out on the summit, you can almost reach the tops of the trees if you stretch your arms - but be careful, there's a lot of hawthorns growing up there!
