Most of the region has been lumbered but good thick stands remain despite removal of some of the trees. Probably pine is commonest tree with fir & an unidentified giant tree being about equally common and almost as common or the pine. Most of the trees are giants. There are some young firs and pines growing in some areas which have been cut over. Mangatin on some drier slopes. (This forest corresponds to the cloud forest of Blake and Hanson described on Mt.
