almost as spectacularly, very few humans. Take a look at
the pics here and the web site for the forest as well

Kitchen." in a "Will and Jack" moment, we turned to each
other and said, "Let's go there!" (The inside picture proves
that it wasn't that Madonna.

Libby Flats - elevation 10,817. Note how
clean the air and ground are - not enough tourists for
litter. We had the whole monument to ourselves for awhile.
