Observation Narrative	A gentle, high elevation summit slope supporting vegetation commonly referred to as a "red oak orchard." The very open character of these forest stands, characterized by consistently gnarled and relatively low-statured trees, may result from the combination of climatic stresses (wind/ice) and long term browsing impacts. Plot located just below and southeast of Hardscrabble Knob summit.
