The park has three temperate rain forests. The biggest difference from a tropical rainforest is that all the big trees are conifers, Sitka spruce, hemlock and Douglas fir. All else is classic rainforest-esk. There are more colors of green than would seem possible and the air smells like it is growing. Everything is shrouded in moss or covered in lichens or ferns. We were sure either dinosaurs or Ewoks would appear at any moment. It is pretty amazing how much life is packed into every inch of space. It was a soggy but great day.
