Rhododendron sit along the trail as it climbs higher. The forest changes from a wet creek valley into a dry ridgeline the higher you climb.

The trail can appear to be lost in the leaves in the fall. The leaves are dry up on the ridgelines.

Camp 52 (Newton Bald) offers decent views when the leaves are off the trees.
