famartin Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 rack up the miles on that new ride? Just a few... like maybe 10,000 since mid February when I got it, but who's counting anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Wow, that is awesome, and nothing like in the mtns in NH. As you headed up towards treeline, the trees were very sparse, and just kinda disappeared. Out here, the spruce and fir are almost as thick as it can get, which then leads to even thicker scrub trees, and then to above treeline. What kind of fir trees are in your pics? Beautiful shots. Makes me want to hike out west. For some reason I always pictured Nevada as a place with few trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me want to hike out west. For some reason I always pictured Nevada as a place with few trees. The upper slopes were fairly well covered with Whitebark and Limber Pine not very long ago... you can still make out the dead hulks in some of the pictures (particularly the ones from Emerald Lake Pass). The combination of White Pine Blister Rust and Mountain Pine Beatles have decimated most of them, unfortunately. Its sad. That's Subalpine Fir, Abies lasiocarpa. Its closely related to the Balsam Fir you are familiar with back east. For the most part, your idea of Nevada is fairly accurate: Treeless. For me (who always grew up loving the many trees that surrounded me in New Jersey), getting used to the epic treeless-ness has been one of the most difficult aspects of living here. It is, in fact, a big reason I went all the way up to Jarbidge Canyon to hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
