I don't know how much, if any, of this beautiful forest survived the Bear Gulch fire of '25. And I have to admit that I'm afraid to find out. I just hope this post isn't in memoriam...

Near Staircase Campground - Olympic National Park, WA.

Cool tree appreciation post.

This bigleaf maple can be seen across the river from the Staircase Campground beside the Skokomish River at Olympic National Park. As much moss as we have, this type is quite rare here - almost like a Spanish Moss. Reminds me of christmas tree garland, tbh.
