Description
In High Ground, we discover a new perspective on nature - from the top of our ridges and mountain crests, where we follow bear trails, hunt ginseng root, make sweet birch tea. We walk on some of the most intriguing ground in the east, from Pennsylvania's Black Forest through Maryland's Catoctin Mountains and on the the Black Mountain's of North Carolina, highest in the Appalachian chain - and deeper into nature than ever before. Topographic maps center in on each piece of high ground.
