Fig. 1Moss-hung maples along the Hall of Mosses
Landform
A temperate rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula’s wet west side. Maple and spruce draped in club moss, receiving twelve feet of rain a year.
Field note
The Hoh sits in the rain shadow of nothing — it faces the Pacific storms. Bigleaf maple wears curtains of moss. Sitka spruce and western hemlock close the canopy.
