route description in Chugach National Forest[edit]

The portion route description is just weird. It makes it sound as if, at some point, the route leaves the mountains, goes into a forest, and then returns to the mountains. That's simply not accurate. Between Tern Lake and the descent to Turnagain Arm, the route is entirely in the mountains, which are forested. They are not mutually exclusive, I do not recall any portion of the route that is above the treeline. You can see above the treeline but the road itself is below it, maybe right at it at the very top of the pass. Every time I rewrite something like this, somebody doesn't like how I've done it and changes it again, so I thought I'd post this here before just editing the description.
