You are walking down a forest trail in Mount Rainier National Park. The ground is covered with ferns and mushroom-covered logs. Everything feels damp, even the air. The trail is lined with trees whose trunks are so wide it would take 6 friends holding hands to reach all the way around them. Some of these trees are over 1,000 years old. You look up and 200 feet above you the tops of these ancient trees touch the sky and shade the forest below in darkness. Most of these trees are evergreens (conifers) like western red cedar, western hemlock, and Douglas fir.
