Hoh River and Hoh Rainforest

Majestic Olympic mountains, complete with glaciers and snow,

budding trees, and a small piece of the Hoh River in the foreground.

Mossy carpet under old growth trees.

Dazzling sun shining through moss-draped, towering trees.

Hoh River, rushing, crystal clear and cold,

from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

Beautiful!

Real rain forest right here on the Olympic Peninsula,

temperate rainforest, not tropical.

Part of the Olympic National Park.

Indecisive tree

We're sitting inside in front of a nicely glowing fire, listening to the wind blow and the rain pelt the skylights as yet another storm system moves through the area. Our rain gauge shows we have gotten 2.5 inches of rain since we set it up yesterday afternoon.

This group of trees is growing out of an old stump. There appear to be at least three species of tree growing here, evergreen and deciduous, as well as moss, ivy and fungi. A little slice of rainforest in one little spot.

We took this picture at the Rearing Pond.
