Overview
This short hike passes through a small stand of Alaska yellow cedar. The tree is found from Alaska down through the Oregon Cascades, but this isolated stand in the Aldrich Mountains is a remnant from a time after the end of the last Ice Age when the climate here was wetter and cooler. In 2006, during the Shake Table Complex Fires, firefighters set a back burn that went out of control and incinerated much of the 26-acre grove, leaving only about two acres untouched. Thousands of cedar seedlings have sprouted since then, however.
