Jan 7 Ramsey Cascade Old Growth Forest

 


I scouted this hike last month and now am back hiking it with Wilderness Wildlife Week.

So much of the land here was cut during the 1910-1940 era, it is surprising that this tract did not. The spot pictured above is about 1/2 way to the waterfall. It is in a group of Tuliptrees which just invites selfies like this one of Susan here.
