Strata of plant communities

At the turnaround point in the hike stands the Pygmy Forest. As the soil conditions change, tall Redwoods give way to trees in miniature.

This represented our longest hike of our trip and also one of the more informative ones. An excellent trail guide provided descriptions of the many different varieties of plants found through several different plant communities as we hiked uphill from the coast.
