| The
dirt floors of dense, deciduous woodlands give way to the deep-green grass
of rolling hills. Dramatic cliffs and outcrops line the tops of limestone
gorges, while caves can often be discovered nearer the bottom. Lazy rivers
cut through emerald valleys and empty into grey-green lakes. As you approach
the alpine forest, the rolling hills get steeper and oak, walnut, and maple
trees begin to make way for pine and spruce. |
