The Oregan Grape seemed to love the mist from the falls and boasted 4-5 blooms on each plant. The tiny Bluelips found the shade and most woody soil, as did the wild strawberry plants. The canyon's floor was littered with fallen older trees, but the youngsters were around as well. We again examined the flat needles of the fir, the multiple needles in a bundle on the soft Western Larch, and the different types of pines & their characteristics. The mixed pine & flower fragrances, the sound of the rushing creek or the thundering falls, & the glorious sites kept us wishing this hike would never end.
