A compact natural area of tall old-growth white pines and mixed forest offering intimate forest-scene compositions, dramatic vertical trunks, and seasonal color (notably fall). Trails are short and easy — accessible from roadside parking on Red Mountain Rd. No fee; best light is low-angle golden hour or diffuse light on overcast days to avoid harsh shadows. Weekday mornings have the fewest visitors; autumn brings peak color and photographers.
