Licorice fern (Latin name: Polypodium glycyrrhizais) growing along Horsetail Creek Trail. Licorice fern is named because of the sweet, licorice-flavored rhizomes. Maybe early spring isn't the season to eat this because It didn't taste good.
Here is a typical view of the flat part of Horsetail Falls trail to Triple Falls. The trail goes mostly along hillsides in the gorge and creek valleys.
