Kouta, The hardwoods in Craggy Gardens are primarily Birch, though I don't really know what species. Hawthorn and Mountain Ash are present here also. The hardwoods seen in the Devils Courthouse photos are primarily American Mountain Ash ( Sorbus Americana ) which is closely related to your European species. The European species has more rounded leaves. Like your Rowan ours is sometimes called American Rowan. Birch and some American Beech is found around Devils Courthouse as well. The highest altitude photo here is the bluet flowers. They are on Mt. Craig in which the Deep Gap Trail passes over. The mountain is dominated by spruce/fir forests and is 6.647ft asl.
The Craggy Balds are about 5.500 feet above sea level while Devils Courthouse Mountain is 5.720 feet asl.
