• Forget-Me-Not Forest: At first glance, the Forget-Me-Not Forest is a sight to behold, with straight, dark fir trees standing or leaning in the swamp. The calm water reflects the trees and the sky, and the ever-changing mountain weather adds to its beauty. On sunny days, the fir trees stand tall under the azure sky, and white clouds drift across the water, creating a tranquil atmosphere that allows one to forget daily worries. On cloudy days, mist often shrouds the forest, adding a veil of mystery and making it even more secluded and ethereal.
