The woodland merging with the western side of the mountain is more of a jungle due to the humidity that tends to accumulate within the dense forest. Heat gets trapped within the forest and due to the falls that send torrents of water throughout the channels that snake through the forest the insect-life is thriving most of the season. During the snow months the abundance of tree limbs creates a makeshift barrier, preventing a majority of the snowfall from accumulating too thick to penetrate. Strangely, some the large herbivores like the area because of the protection of the rock formations that sprout up. A secure place to give birth makes it a magnet for expecting animals. Thick foliage create barriers, bramble patches become a constant irritation in the norther sectors where the woods are thickest. worse is that the areas plentiful produce attracts bears, residents must proceed with caution.
