We had a visitor in ATC HQ a few days ago who recalled encountering a stand of aspen trees on the A.T. in the Michaux State Forest (PA) about 25 years ago, and would like to visit the spot again. He didn’t remember anything about the location of the stand.
I called a forester in the Michaux and he said wasn’t aware of any dense stands but had not walked all of the A.T. in the Michaux. He was aware of some areas with big-tooth aspens mixed in somewhere north of Shippensburg Rd. He also thought the Tumbling Run area would be a good place to find them. I've already asked PATC's naturalist Bob Pickett.
Can anyone out there definitively confirm or deny whether such a spot currently exists on the A.T. in Michaux?
