These Wild Grapes were found Nov 6 not too far from Skyland lodge. These and a lot more like them are ripe for a trailside snack, provided the bears haven't found them.
Noticed this Red-backed salamander crossing a Tulip Poplar leaf near Rocky Branch trail.
A lightning strike this spring connected with this Oak just off the Skyline drive near mile 40. The splits' jagged path can be followed all the way up the tree. Check it out, it's cool.
Topping out a first ascent of the boulder problem now known as Haggis. It ascends the arete on a chunck of great Old Rag granite in SNP. Some serious fall color in the background. Nice problem Jonathan!
Not all the fall color is in the leaves, this rocks' bright patterns can be seen year round on the passamaquoddy trail.
