Landscape Narrative ? There is a trail approximately 20m downslope with the Middle Fork River approximately 70m downslope. Large rock faces are on the upper slope and are strewn with garbage such as water bottles. To the east of the plot the community continues, only younger. To the west it becomes more mixed with large.;Coniferous forest dominated by Tsuga canadensis with a scattered sub-canopy of Betula lenta. There is little to no cover by herbs. There are several large boulders in the middle of the plot. These boulders are very moist and covered with a variety of mosses. Many of the large trees have numbered metal tags attached to them.
