Model Forest Trail


Day 162: The Model Forest Trail at Charles L. Pack Experimental Forest is exactly what it says it is: a model of Pack Forest. It occupies an area a couple hundred feet on a side, set beside the gatehouse to the larger version and was carefully created to reproduce the terrain of Pack Forest on a miniature scale. Here you may walk the looping 1000 Rd. in a matter of ten minutes or summit Hugo Peak in five. You can explore the depths of the Nisqually Canyon from a precipitous twelve inches from its bottom. The Model Forest Trail is a charming place where you can pretend you're Paul Bunyan, striding across the miles in seven-league boots, and at the same time, you can observe most, if not all, of the major species of plants present in Pack.
