Typo. Santeetah = Santeetlah. And the big trees are on a two-mile loop trail in Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, not in nearby Horse Cove campground.

I agree with your later comment about deserts. One nice place in the desert to visit is Sabino Canyon in Tucson. Visit in the spring when the cactus are blooming and in the morning before it gets hot. The nature trail next to the visitors center is flat and short, and contains more species of cactus than you ever imagined. Sabino Canyon has a tram that goes up canyon for a couple of miles. You can get off at various stops along the route and later reboard the tram.

Thanks for the info. I have never been furthur west than South Dakota. I’d love to visit the deserts of the west. And I want to see the big Montana sky.
