The trail passes through several different biomes from south to north, and the climate changes significantly, particularly dependent upon elevation. In the south, lowland forests consist mainly of second-growth; nearly the entire trail has been logged at one time or another. There are, however, a few old growth locations along the trail, such as Sages Ravine straddling the Massachusetts-Connecticut border and atop higher peaks along the trail on either side of the same border, the Hopper (a <a href="/wiki/Glacial_cirque" class="mw-redirect" title="Glacial cirque">glacial cirque</a> westward of the trail as it traverses Mt. Greylock in Massachusetts), and "The Hermitage", near <a href="/wiki/Gulf_Hagas" title="Gulf Hagas">Gulf Hagas</a> in Maine.
