The Hall of Mosses

All this moss!!

“The mutuality of moss and water. Isn’t this the way we love, the way love propels our unfolding? We are shaped by our affinity for love, expanded by its presence and shrunken by its lack.”

–Robin Wall Kimmerer

Some of you may already know this, but I think moss is wonderful- ecologically and visually!

So I went to the place that should be at the top of any moss lover’s list… the Hoh Rainforest on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.

The place is on Hoh tribal land and within Olympic National Park. You’ll find tree species from red cedars to bigleaf maples to sitka spruce… but they’re all seemingly upstaged by their fur coats.

I absolutely loved the walk through the Hall of Mosses and couldn’t slow down enough to take this all in. Most incredible place I’ve been in a long time!
