Nestled up high among remote places are these pockets of wilderness. Both wet and dry again in a short period of time. Where wild creatures of many types thrive and find their place in the foreboding Summer storms that come and go. While natural sources of water, light, oxygen, wood, and vegetation become less available and more sparse, the higher you go. Whereby observation, tree life, and ground cover becomes less dense. Here you can follow the alpine tree line along the lower-elevation perimeter in this hidden valley below Cirque peak.
