Many hikes travel along or have views of rockface.
Moss, lichens, ferns, shrubs, and trees grow on the ledges.Rivers of brilliant red blueberry bushes lined the top of the mountains and the distant valley appears like the sea. All this near Sam's Point.
Along the path, red blueberry bushes mingled with this white-seeded plant which I think is Pearly Everlasting, or Anaphalis margaritacea.
Dwarf Pitch Pine Plains around Lake Maratanza, near Sam's Point. Trees are around 5 feet tall.

Wow, that's stunning.I was near Mt Baker in the Pacific NW recently and loved the very low-growing blueberry bushes, already red.
