Thank you chesterbperry and DaneCole for your help with this ID. I compared Resurrection Fern to Christmas Fern. The stems I saw were much shorter (~ 6 in.) than what I read is typical for a Christmas Fern. The ferns I saw were also in large clusters spread across logs and rocks, very much like the images I saw of the Resurrection Fern. ...so beautiful.
