Gaudineer Scenic Area
The 140-acre (57 ha) Gaudineer Scenic Area is situated immediately north of Gaudineer Knob at about 4,000 feet (1,200 m) elevation. It was established in 1964 and was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1974 owing to a 50-acre (20 ha) virgin red spruce stand that was spared the lumberman’s saw when the surrounding countryside was clear-cut in the early 20th Century.

Famous quotes containing the words scenic and/or area:
“Hence from scenic bacchanal,
Preshrunk and droll prodigal!
Smallness that you had to spend,
Spent. Wench, whiskey and tail-end
Of your overseas disease
Rot and rout you by degrees.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
—Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
