If you have time drive over to the Northeast Kingdom to Lake Willoughby
and climb Mt. Pisgah for the most stunning lake view in the northeast.

If you want a different hike close to Burlington you
might want to try Camels Hump.

Subject: [ENTS] 1st trip to Adirondack old growth
Hi ENTS,
Just finished up a great day of wandering across Adirondack Park for the
first time. After a post a few months ago about a news article
mentioning old growth at the base of Ampersand Mtn I decided to swing
by. Wow am I glad I did.
While there I did ring counts on a fallen Hemlock and White Pine. The
hemlock came to 245 rings and the White Pine was an astounding 357
rings! Are either of these species known to double ring at all? It was
so weird to see trees of relatively small DBH/CBH with soooooo many
rings. I'm so used to the super growth of the Tulip Poplars and other
species back in Atlanta. The old growth of the Adirondacks is so nice
especially after all the rain this month- it felt like a rain forest!
I have a few shorts videos of the trees and forest on my YouTube account
if any of you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/user/eliahd24
Now I'm off to Burlington in the morning. Any neat forests/botanical
areas you'd care to recommend are greatly appreciated!
~Eli
