"It usually happened under the spell of the morning or the evening, when the light drew color from the rocks and the leaves that no camera can see, and the shimmering air turned the trees into a hall of portals to distant lands, no two of them the same. " - I felt these sentences deeply. From my time hiking the AT in 2010, I still look at the few photos I ended up taking that might have tried to capture some of this and wish I could experience it again and again. I love our southern forests but there is something distinctly portal-ish about the north woods.

Sounds like a good read. Have you read the other "North Woods" by Peter Marchand? I'm thinking you would like it.
