A Tongass Rain Forest Walk
Ketchikan, AK
The Biggest Temperate Rain Forest in the World
A deep forest with "Witches Hair" lichen hanging from every branch, and moss covering everything. Cold, clear, rushing mountain streams with Salmon fighting their way up to spawn. Damp, fresh, mossy smells. Birds singing, eagles screeching. Gossamer threads sparking in sunbeams. An occasionally, the glimpse of a dear or even a bear.
