Yesterday on my drive from Las Vegas to Moab I stopped in Fishlake National Forest to see Pando, the world’s largest tree. And to spend a little time walking around the grove and sketching the tree.

A sign marks the entrance to the Pando Aspen Clone, with a scenic backdrop of aspen trees and hills.A grove of tall, slender aspen trees with white bark and green leaves stands in a sunlit forest area.A sketchbook featuring a drawing of trees is being held up in front of a forest landscape with white aspen trees.
