Red spruce, balsam fir, yellow birch, and eastern hemlock on uplands; sugar maple, American beech, and yellow birch in coves. Legendary chanterelle, king bolete, black trumpet, and hedgehog country. Morels in aspen-birch stands after spring burns. High Peaks, St. Regis, and Five Ponds Wilderness offer deep-backcountry foraging.
