This plant forms the western edge of the first bench above camp. From this point on to the summit the ground is dominated by tangles of blackberries and winebark.
Other associate plants will include Bracken Fern, True ferns, Wild ginger, Salad, Winebark, Manzanitta, Huckleberry and Vetches in the dominant cover. The alders will form a major part of the cover along most all stream courses but on the slopes above camp they are less dominant than along the stream comes to the sea around and below camp. In the later areas rather dense thickets have been formed. The area looked is drained by this east major east west streams and tributaries.
Along the west slope too old lumbering roads cut the upper slopes in east-west a north south direction outside of these roads only numerous deer trails form the only tracks on.
