Blue Ridge Parkway’s rugged beauty featuring Case Camp Ridge, Bennett Gap, and Cherry Cove Overlook. This aerial photograph captures eastern facing ridgelines perfectly lit by the morning sun.

The Case Camp Ridge Trail (#119) is a moderately challenging 2.8-mile out-and-back trail in Pisgah National Forest. The trail ascends approximately 1,000 feet over 1.7 miles, terminating near Cherry Cove Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Hikers can expect a steady climb through diverse forested areas, including sections affected by historical chestnut blight, with potential winter views of Looking Glass Rock.

Bennett Gap is a notable crossing along the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) in this region. Approximately one mile from Cherry Cove Overlook, the MST intersects the Blue Ridge Parkway at Bennett Gap. This area is characterized by its rich biodiversity and serves as a connector for various trails, offering hikers access to different segments of the Pisgah National Forest.

Cherry Cove Overlook is located at milepost 415.7 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherry Cove Overlook sits at an elevation of 4,330 feet. This overlook provides visitors with expansive views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, making it a popular spot for photography and relaxation. It's also a convenient access point for the Case Camp Ridge Trail, allowing hikers to explore the area's natural beauty.

These locations collectively offer a blend of challenging hikes, rich ecological environments, and stunning vistas, making them worthwhile destinations for those exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest.

** July-2020: In June Steven W. Brewer collected a specimen in the same locale with mature fruit and now believes this is not C. bauhiniifolia, but a Cynometra species yet to be determined.

Some Cynometra individuals reach canopy on the banks of a small creek in seasonally wet swamp forest next to The Belize Zoo's Tropical Education Center.

This differential Gas Analyzer System in a temperature controlled box was used during the CR-ADVEX campaign in 2009 to estimate the horizontal advection of CO2 along the slightly sloped terrain of the DF49 Fluxnet Site on Vancouver Island. The boxed instrumentation contained eight Li-7000s and Li-6262s here operated in the forest.
