| Great tour and looks like a lovely place to wander. |

| Cool plants! I can't believe that Sequoiadendron giganteum. What zone is it there in Denver? Thanks for taking the time to share, Nate. |

| Thanks Nate, great photos. That Pendulum is really cool, great plant to recommend for those needing something narrow. The bark on that parv is interesting. Cher |
