Rainforest

 We made a last minute attempt to visit Mt. Rainier, but each path we took ended in a closed road.  The car ride was redeemed by the amazing treck we took at yet another dead end at the base of the mountain. 
 Washington's forests are classified as rainforests thanks to the massive amounts of rainfall they receive.  Because the climate is colder than say the Amazon, a better label would be temperate rainforest.
The result is a moss covered world so very different from the forest walks we take in Maryland.
