The EPIC Endemics

In the misty landscape of Oregon’s famous, Columbia River Gorge, a place where many tourists come to see a amazing concentration of high waterfalls, sits and extraordinary plant population.

The Oneonta gorge is home to a handful of “endemic” plants, and has been classified a “botanical area” by the USFS. Endemic plants are those that grow in one geographic location, and NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD!
