Depends on the latitude doesn't it?
Not sure how it really works, but here in Utah tree line is around 10,000. We have lakes at 10,000. In the Uinta's and Wasatch mountain range, tree line is about 10,000.
It is way below 10,000 here. I think we left it slightly before the 5000 mark, maybe even 4500'.
I think HD is correct about the latitude affecting it, as when I went up the North Canol the hills had progressively lower tree lines.
you live in an extremely beautiful area cold one.i wish i lived somewhere like that.maybe when i retire at 49...{TEAMSTERS PENSION}...i would think the ONLY drawback of living up their is the extra long travel time to the BLADE SHOW...lol.i remember you told me how long it was but i forget.made me feel lucky to only be a yankee.
the highest mountain in new york is in the adirondaks and is only 5,300.
did you see any good wildlife??
what do you guys have out their for wildlife anyways??
It was a decent trek to blade 08! Took a day to get to the east coast and then about 4 hours to fly down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Lets see.. Wildlife... Other than Tikka & some bird we were skunked on the wildlife! We did see a fair amount of signs though, moose tracks & dropping as well as coyote & fox droppings. I had my bear deterrent with me, so perhaps Yogi thought better of a visit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
As for wildlife up here, to name the big stuff:
Bison
Elk
Cariboo
Moose
Mule Deer
Then we have a bunch of wolf/sheep/goat sized critters.
