 Monadnock / Side Foot - Breaking Out Above Treeline

 

A patchy area of scrubby pines and granite surfaces under sun.

About fifty feet above the White Arrow Trail, the treeline touches the forest in a scrubby area of conifers and granite. Not quite abused by weather enough to become krummholz, this transitional zone still shows significant stunted growth and distortion in the remaining trees.
