At marker post 8 in "Abundance Hollow" on The Ridges Cemeteries Nature Walk the word gnarled comes to mind. You can find this unique beech tree less than half a mile from the parking lot off Dairy Lane in a grove of other old trees.
You can sometimes find trail guides for this Nature Walk at the trailheads or you can download one.
