If you want some dead trees, come up here to BC, Canada. The pine beetle infestation is ... it's hard to explain - if you stood on a summit 10 years ago, you could see dense, green forest all the way to the horizon. Now, the landscape is more red than green - literally the whole province is like this.

Red is dead.

Ask and ye shall receive. My first picture in the other post was on the PCT just north of Chicken Spring Lake, Sequoia NP.
This one is on the middle fork of the Kings River, Kings Canyon NP:
This one is in Cloud Canyon, Kings Canyon NP, on the slopes of the Whaleback:
This is also on the Whaleback:
On the JMT between Wallace Creek and Crabtree, Sequoia NP:
On the PCT, Chicken Spring Lake area, Sequoia NP:
Also near Chicken Spring Lake:
On the PCT between Chicken Spring Lake and Soldier Lake:
On the PCT just south of Guyot Pass, Sequoia NP:
On the PCT just north of Guyot Pass:
And on the main Mount Whitney trail, just above Mirror Lake:
Nice pictures, everyone; makes me really want to get out of the city and get into the woods.
In 2002 I was hiking through Cimarron, NM in places where wildfires had been burning just a week or two before. There's something haunting about walking through a forest of charred wood that was alive not a month ago.

On the PCT just south of Crabtree, Mt Whitney in the background. The trees don't show clearly, but instead of being all gnarly, they were just straight poles.

Here's a few of my favorites.
A dead tree growing on limestone on Chimney Top on North Fork Mt.
These are on the West Fork Trail. The one is a beaver dam:

Hollowdweller - That chimney top is cool, I'd like to sit on top of it for a while.
