About Garden & Nature
Stand at the treeline and the world opens up — scree slopes dropping away on one side, a ribbon of trail winding back through the timber below. The Rockies stretch north and south like a spine, while the ancient Appalachians roll in softer, greener waves from Georgia to Maine. Whether you reach a summit by boots alone or catch the view from a mountain lodge, that first glimpse of an unbroken ridge against a blue sky is something you carry with you long after you've come back down.
