My First Explorations of Lookout Creek Trail

The last few days have been a wonderful exploration of the Lookout Creek Trail on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This is one of the few Pacific Northwest trails that travels through an unbroken old-growth forest. This trail and the surrounding forest will be one of the primary photo locations I concentrate on over the next few seasons. It will take several more photo trips until I feel comfortable having fairly deep photo coverage. Like the ecosystem studies being conducted on the forest, you could quite easily spend the remainder of your lifetime exploring all the ins-and-outs of this incredibly complex ecosystem.
