High up on the trail where there are sheer rock walls on one side of the trail we saw lots of tiny begonias growing.  If they find a little more soil then they get bigger and have a beautiful flower as seen in the second photo.

 

The following video is long, 9.5 minutes but I think the only way to show the difficulty of the hike is to include lots of footage.  It is in 740 Hi Def so enjoy, but because it's such a large file you might want to let it play through once while you go off and have a cold drink and then sit down and replay it.
