"I will never forget my first visit to a National Forest. After loving National Forests from afar, I finally had the opportunity to visit Tonto National Forest in Arizona. The diverse landscape, ranging from the dry, hot Sonoran Desert to the ponderosa pine-covered forests of the Mogollon Rim, made me feel like I was on Mars and like I was coming home, simultaneously. That's the National Forest effect.""
