Water Tower Trails

Behind the Robert Frost Interpretive Trail is access to the 70 miles of trails of the Moosaslamoo National Recreation Area. While the forest here is not old growth, the areas within continually transition interestingly from one type of natural area to another and contain large and old tree specimens, including a nearby stand of old eastern hemlocks. The main reason I returned today was to revisit a wonderful, very large hemlock specimen in the hemlock forest that I’d measured earlier, although it’s particular placement in the forest and the undergrowth make photographing it challenging and I haven’t tried to photograph it yet.
