On a hike to Moul Falls, we enjoyed fall foliage and some of the plants along the way. Snowberries (Symphoricarpos albus) are abundant in the mixed forest along the route.   The white berries are spongy and most of them will stay on the shrub throughout winter.    They are considered poisonous.

Sections of the trail have paperbark birch (Petula payrifara) stands.    The pale-green leaves turn yellow, but they had already fallen off most of the trees by the third week of October.

BC Parks has done some good work on this trail, improving parking, signage, and the trail.   The Grouse Creek sign reminds us that the mixed forest has recovered from a fire 95 years ago.

Along a side trail was a log with many greenish polypores.

The trail ended at the base of the falls, but I clambered on a narrow track in behind the falls, then into a cave in the lava cliffs where I could look back at the cascade.

Mists from the falls made the route wet each way, but the mists also contribute to lichens and mosses in the cave

We enjoyed our hike to the falls and back on an October day.
