Into the Tall Grass
An inexplicable darkness beckons from across a wooden footbridge over the Oconaluftee River in Cherokee. Several hundred feet of canopy stretch along the far edge of a sandy island: a thicket of 40-foot-tall bamboo. Stepping into the otherworldly tall grass feels like striding from the Blue Ridge Mountains onto another continent as the temperature drops in the dense shade.
