The plutons in DuPont State Forest are known for the wide range of moss and lichens that grow on their granite surface. This combination of fallen pine cones, ground cedar, and reindeer lichen along the Micajah Trail caught my attention. Enjoy more at Internet Brothers Hiking Logs and Gallery.

This is a lesson in always remembering to look down for the little things when out on a hike with a stated plan to photograph large, popular features (waterfalls, redwoods, canyons, charismatic megafauna, &c.). 1/250 at f/5.6

On top of one of the mountains. Dupont State Forest used to be a retreat or estate for the Dupont family, and they had a private airstrip to bring in favored executives.

Bridal Veil Falls is at the end of this particular trail. Because the side of the falls is rock, you can climb up along the side of the lower falls and reach the upper section.
