This year we were able to hike all the way to Mills River Overlook and beyond. We had a great (but hot) walk with loads of spectacular superbums but we missed the Figworts – maybe next time!

Botanical plant names seem to change almost every day, but for now we use those approved by ITIS, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System. Plants that are non-native to North America are indicated by an asterisk (*) placed after the species name. Photography by Eric King & Penny Longhurst.
