Description: NPS image of the forest canopy near Newfound Gap. The trees in the foreground are deciduous trees known as "northern hardwoods," the leaves of which reflect the colors of autumn. As elevation increases in the distance, the region's two chief high-altitude conifer types-- the red spruce and Fraser fir-- become the dominant tree types, as they can bear much colder climatic conditions than the broad-leaved hardwoods.
