Lots of space to sit and enjoy the view. I learned that the tree formations like this in high country are called krummholz. The trees on the left are firs, the ones on the right, cedars.

It's a picture of life carving out an existence in challenging circumstances ... V

the environment does look unstable, yet trees have managed a foothold and thrived; contrast between the two species is dramatic in this great shot. V

Just noticed the other photographer sitting on the hill. Very cool.

Well I just learned something new, thanks!

Interesting term 'krummholz' for these tree patches. It is an extreme environment, steep and unstable and, no doubt, very cold in winter.

Such a stark difference between the two kinds of trees,, but quite attractive together.
