Читать книгу Hike the Parks: Rocky Mountain National Park - Brendan Leonard - Страница 21

Rocky Mountain National Park’s mountainsides are thick with evergreen trees, including Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, Colorado blue spruce, and Engelmann spruce, and in the rocky and windiest areas of the park, gnarly limber pines can be found, their trunks and limbs twisted dramatically by wind. Stands of aspen can also be found throughout the park, bringing fall color to the mountains when their leaves turn golden in autumn.
