Observation Narrative	At one time, this site supported an excellent occurrence of a high-elevation greenstone barren, but years of hiker trampling at this popular overlook have destroyed many fragile herbaceous mats at the top of the cliff. Nevertheless, the floristic composition is still typical and some undisturbed patches persist on the less accessible rock faces. This vegetation type is endemic to the Park. Plot location: Bettys Rock, at end of trial going north from Crescent Rock Overlook.
