The weather is overcast with some sun breaks. It's 60 degrees outside. The dominant species are Douglas Fir (old growth), Western Red Cedar (old growth), Madrone, Alder, and possibly Pacific Yew (the trail mentioned it, but I couldn't identify them). There wasn't a lot of undergrowth, but when there was, I discovered Salal, Tall Oregon Grape, Ferns, and Red Alder bushes. I'm not sure what this plant is because it looks like a cross between Salal and Oregon Grape. It was located amidst more Cedar trees than anything else. It was in a pretty homogenous area besides the Cedars and Red Alders.
This 4 ft tall plant was found along the trail in the forest. It was growing almost underneath a fallen log. There were 2 other plants nearby. The leaves not only grow on the branches, but also alternately on the main stem. More than 10 leaves per branch. Found among Cedars, Douglas firs, and Red Alder.
Vaccinium ovatum is a species of flowering shrub known by the common names Evergreen Huckleberry and California Huckleberry.
