Create for me a description of a secluded scene outside a ravine with ferns, granite, cottages, and lichens.

A narrow trail meanders along the base of a bluff. The granite face is deeply pocked and coated with ice, giving it a sparkling sheen. In one deep pocket, almost a small grotto, a few hardy ferns and lichens brave the demanding climate, fed by a constant rain of water drops melting from the snow higher up the bluff. The cottages nestled in the pines along the path bask in the secluded charm.
