a Rocky Mountain high ***New pics added***

offroad, LongRanger, Ferret, is that rocky landscape natural or has there been extensive deforestation?

LongRanger will probably explain it better, but I think that is because we are above the tree line

LongRanger will probably explain it better, but I think that is because we are above the tree line I don't know if I can explain it better, but at this latitude, treelne is about 11,000'. Trees can't survive above that. As you move further north, like into Montana and British Columbia, the tree line gets lower (I think it's only around 6000' in Glacier National Park).

There's been little deforestation in Colorado, which poses a significant threat because we've lost millions of trees to beetle infestation and there is a lot of dead forest waiting to burn. Some of these fires can't be extinguished until the snows come in September / October.
