Russian Wilderness
Klamath National Forest California
The Russian Wilderness is small but interesting. This is where the greatest diversity of coniferous tree species in the world is found - on one mile-square section 17 different species of conifers have been identified.
The Pacific Crest Trail runs through this wilderness end to end. The peaks are fairly high and rugged, and there are alpine lakes, but it is the miles of lush forest that really make it special.
