About Hall of Mosess Trail
Step into a lush temperate rainforest where towering ancient trees, including western hemlocks, bigleaf maples, and Sitka spruces, are enveloped by a vibrant carpet of mosses and ferns. The air is cool and crisp, and the landscape is reminiscent of a fairytale. Wildlife such as Roosevelt elk and banana slugs inhabit this enchanting environment. The forest floor, rich with moss-covered nurse logs and giant fallen trees, offers a unique glimpse into the life cycle of this ecosystem.
