Crystal creeks flowing down pebbled streambeds. Shimmering lakes nestled beneath magnificent mountains. High meadows of wild azalea and bluet flowers. Dense groves of mountain laurel, catawba rhododendron, and wild blueberries. Spectacular streams crashing over towering waterfalls.
Sheer rock cliffs nearly a thousand feet high.
High forests of red spruce and Fraser fir. Rocky, exposed mountaintops. All of which provide habitat for black bears, white-tailed deer, bobcats, wild turkeys, boars, raccoons, hawks, falcons, eagles, and a variety of warblers and other songbirds. And in this myriad landscape of infinite treasures, almost limitless chances exist for outdoor recreation, including hiking, backpacking, whitewater and lake paddling, mountain and road biking, birding, fishing, camping, and climbing. Concentrated exploration of the region is best accomplished on foot.
