Landscape Narrative	Downslope is open, but tall woodland of Tilia, Carya cordiformis, and Tsuga. Near slope bottom are spectacular Thuja. Above cliff is more forest, then agricultural landscape on karst.;Limestone cliff above a steep boulderfield on outside bend of river. Rock has a couple limestone types, both fizzing with acid. Lower rock faces are dominated by cottony white lichen and there are a few herbs in cracks and on ledges. Hemlock at cliff base are recently dead which has increased light on the rock. The cliff is roughly 35 m tall with 5 % ledges and 2 % overhangs.
