Location Narrative	Plot is directly adjacent to High Peaks Trail where the trail levels out and starts to go around the south side of High Peaks (before tunnel trail intersection) general area: plot is on the W side of High Peaks. 912w photo taken from outside the plot. A half vertical (61 degree slope, 90 degree aspect), half horizontal (24 slope, 90 aspect) Lichen-bedrock plot (averaged the two slopes to 42 degrees) with some trampling from trail. There are eroded parts of the bedrock that contain grasses and shrubs. There is a Lichen-Moss bedrock association. There would probably be more moss if there was less foot traffic in the plot.
