This section has a bit of everything, from scenic overlooks of Oberg Mt. and Moose Mt. to the dense maple forests of the east end. After the optional climb to Oberg Mt., the SHT winds through boreal forests of birch, spruce, balsam fir, and alder then climbs to the top of Moose Mt., where the views in all directions are rewarding. The ups and downs make this one of the more challenging sections. The last three miles go through a rich maple forest before emerging at the gorge of the Poplar River. This section was constructed by the Forest Service and is one of the oldest sections of the SHT.
