Hoh Rainforest

Ferns

The entire Hoh Rainforest is carpeted by lush ferns. They give the area a feel of walking through a green lake of color under the deep canopy of trees.

Trees Growing on Trees

One interesting feature which could be seen repeatedly on our hike, was trees that would begin to grow on top of the trunks of other fallen, rotted trees. After the fallen tree completely rots away, the roots of the young tree are left with gaps that one could almost crouch down and walk through.

Algae and Moss

In any low spot where there weren't any ferns, there was generally a large stagnant pond with algae growing all over the place--in the trees, in the water....it all looked like the same stuff.
