STL DPB ON THE ROAD - THE FOREST PRIMEVAL

Home again but it will take me awhile to collect local material and there is still lots from the trip. There are only a few places in the world where you can find a cool rain forest. The western side of the Olympic mountains is one of them. Several rivers begin in the high glaciers and  flow to the Pacific, with heavy rain going in the other direction. This is a trail called the Hall of Mosses in the upper Hoh River valley. It varies a lot by season but the area receives up to 12 feet / 3 2/3 meters of rain a year.
