Mount Britton Tower Trail hike
When you get about 75% of the way to the top, look for these small fern-like plants growing on the side of the road just 1-3ft away from the asphalt. They are a special plant that when you touch the leaves, they instantly shrivel up! I've never seen anything like it. It's somewhat like a Venus Fly Trap. If you flick your finger against the stalk, the entire thing will all shrivel up! So cool, we were very entertained by this. I'm sure you could find the name for it if you Google.
