  This was actually a pleasant surprise . We didn't plan on going here but when Russian Gulch was closed due to flooding we were directed here by the park ranger. The hike to the pygmy forest was an easy one (flat and 5 miles round trip) and was quite a unique experience to see the pygmy trees. Highly recommend.
