Ghost Trees of Giant's Washbowl
Giant Mountain Wilderness, Adirondacks

One of my favorite Adirondack landscapes is Giant's Washbowl, where bleached pines stand like ghost trees encircling the dark, tannin-colored waters. The lakes in the higher terrain of the Adirondacks were carved by glaciers during the last Ice Age, around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. As glaciers advanced, they scoured deep valleys and depressions, which later filled with meltwater to form lakes. The rugged terrain was further shaped by glacial debris, ancient rock formations, and tectonic forces, giving rise to the dramatic beauty of places like this that I am drawn to again and again.
