Hearts Content Scenic Area
If you have never been to Hearts Content Scenic Area you haven't seen nothing. This old growth forest is tremendous. It has suffered from some mortality due to Beech Bark Disease and acid rain but remains a vibrant old growth forest with excellent regeneration. Here are a few photos from a stroll with my dog this afternoon. Click on each image for a full view.

I visited Hearts Content in April while hiking a nearby segment of the NCT. I've visited a dozen times or so, including hiking up from the Allegheny river on the Tanbark trail with my brother about 1988. My how he cursed me over that initial climb.
I worship this small forest.
Our problem is the small size and small number of these oases. They are so susceptible . . .
Only through increased protection of natural areas can future generations enjoy these types of forests.
I enjoyed your pics. I am sending you a couple of mine.
