Another beautiful fall day for our last field trip for 2026. Warmer than last week but still very pleasant for the hike back to the trailhead! We got a bit split up on our way to the falls. Next time we need to remember to take the group photo before we all drift apart!
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 Charlie Brice, Cindy Carpenter, Hugh & Janice Irwin, & Penny Longhurst.
