Landscape Narrative	Downslope forests are hemlock - spruce / rhododendron, then deciduous / rhododendron. Wilderness Area. Route to outcrop was flagged through opening in rhododendron.;High elevation cliff in spruce zone. Cliff is sandstone conglomerate with south aspect. Vegetation on rock face is sparse, with patches having moderate cover by Lasalia papulosa, and mosses in seepy spots.
