When I had to chose a place from my home town to compare the Redstone Pines to I wasn’t sure where to go. There aren’t any areas that are somewhat similar to the pines so no matter what it would be like comparing oranges and apples. Either way, I ended up choosing to go to Runyon Canyon. Runyon Canyon is a recreational area in which many activities can be done. It is a place for hiking, picnicking, small concerts, and more. It is a highly popular location as it is home of the infamous Hollywood sign hike. When I visited this spot it was crawling with people. Already this is very different then the pines. The pines tend to be a quieter space will hammocks and students doing work. The pines also only haver one main focal species while Runyon Canyon had an abundance. Runyon Canyon was also a much dryer landscape as it sees much less rain than the Redstone Pines. Along with this, the Redstone Pines are of course a much smaller area than Runyon Canyon and the pines are a flat surface while Runyon canyon has mountains.
