Tents are looking incredible man! Though you should fix the rock to 10:00 of the campsite, its cutoff at the bottom and looks way out of place. Other than that this is great.

So I added in wagons, and a place to hitch the horses behind the rock at 11:00 from the camp.
I also added in a few boulders. Now, forage and brush. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can draw an quaking aspen grove?

No idea on the aspens, sorry -- but this is looking great so far. My only suggestion would be that you still have a few hard lines in there from your tiling; you might want to smudge those out. They're subtle, but they tend to catch the eye. I love the footprints, you can almost see the campers trudging around making them!

Very good job! Though I think the footprints on the lake should be a bit lower in opacity, lakes usually have less snow on top and more ice. Other than that and a few other minor things, this is looking awesome!

Actually, I would say with a pond that size, there would be a pretty much equal amount of snow on as the surrounding area. A pond that small could very well have frozen entirely before the first snowfall. It really is looking good though! I wouldn't worry about changing anything about the pond.
@Jaxilon: I'm using Photoshop CS3, and a Wacom Bamboo tablet.
I used the warp tool to give the canvas tops of the tents and the wagons that "saggy" look, and then used 2 Adjustment layers set to "Exposure" (1 Hilight, 1 Shadow) to accentuate the shading.
I went and added in the shrubbery, the trees are just random lines with some tree-like shadows painted. I'm not really satisfied with them, but I've never seen a tree from the top down in any way I can visualize or use as a reference. Areal photos maybe? Hmm... Have to hunt for something like this. The boulders look better with the trees, anyway.
Any ideas on additions before I begin my night-tinting pass?

Looks Amazing. the only very tiny thing I can see is that you have a wagon track running off the top of the map. Simply awesome
