Geo 365: March 21, Day 80: The North Side

Looking to the north side of Hole-in-the-Ground. Comparing this to yesterday's photo, you can see how barren it is with respect to the ponderosa pines. Interestingly, there's enough elevation difference between that bowl and the tableland where I'm standing that there's a quite healthy ponderosa forest behind me  Also, note again the fault on the opposite wall, shown previously on Tuesday.
