Hiking
Once green and vibrant, many trees now show brown marks, signs of the bark beetle that has wreaked havoc in this area. But even if this scene makes the heart heavy, the view is still impressive. Secured by a railing, the view here is no less impressive in its melancholy - and it is also safe for children to access.
