Chloe and I took a hike in the middle section of Shenandoah to South River Falls. We had done this hike in our first semester with our plants class, learning about the forest species present at different elevations, exposures, and degrees of moisture. Today, we spotted some of the same species (like the beautiful yellow birch) as well as some wildflowers and this native shrub, smooth hydrangea. We also saw huge areas along Skyline Drive covered in the gorgeous blooms of mountain laurel.
