We made it to the top of the second ladder and look back to where we came. The shrubbery hides the gap in the trail, but the first ladder is barely seen.
The gloom of the woods, particularly in the lee of a rocky cliff, comes to life here. I can see the distant ladder that led us here and also what appears to be a label on a shrub, to the lower far right. Is that indeed what it is? and are there more? Have the producers of this trail made it a partial arboretum? What a good idea.
