Venturing ashore in the Tongass Wilderness offers an amazing world within the temperate rainforest. The Tongass is our nations largest national forest at 16 million acres. This image actually shows the trail we were on as it winds up the hill through the dense vegetation!
Rivulets, streams, rivers, waterfalls and cascades are everywhere! This tiny waterfall slipped down a moss-covered cliff inside the forest along the trail.
Exiting the forest we came back out into a glorious meadow full of lupine, paintbrush and other flowers. In all directions images were waiting to be created!
The wonderful contrast of purple against green along with the misty rain helped make this lupine ‘pop’ from its surroundings.
