Landscape Narrative	North Fork Mtn. Trail runs ~ 100m from plot, but this community is protected by inaccessibility. This plot is nearly adjacent to MONF.364, just separated by the top of the cliff.;Vertical cliff of Tuscarora sandstone with sparse vegetation in crevices and on small ledges. This section of cliff is not immediately accessible from the trail and still has fairly intact lichen cover on the clifftop. A few Pitch Pine cling to the edge of the cliff. Inaccessibility protects this community.
