Leah Sottile, Outside Online, 5 July 2016 The Moose Fire on Tuesday grew to nearly 60 square miles burning grass, timber understory and dead and down material in the Salmon-Challis National Forest. From Usa Today Network And Wire Reports, USA TODAY, 28 July 2022 Fern fanned out in the understory, along with canelo trees, bamboo, and tall, slender alerce, for which this park is named.
