Landscape Narrative	Row of sycamore rooted at base of cliffs, zone of water-willow and willow before open water. Upstream falls with numerous rock islands. Above cliffs are Juniperus rooted in benches, cliff tops. Hibiscus laevis is rooted among rocks in Justicia zone.;Bedrock cliffs and ledges just downstream from rapids formed by resistant geology crossing the river, cliffs are likely same lithology (Phyllite?).
