In addition to sugar maples, the forests in Superior National Forest contain large stands of quaking aspen, also known as trembling aspen, poplar or popple. In addition to providing lumber for the pulp industry, the trees provide food and cover for Minnesota’s favorite game bird, the Ruffed Grouse. Very little post-processing was used on this image. The sky was truly that blue.
