The Northwestern Rainforest

Route 6 to Tillamook took us down windy roads, with signs reading “ROCKS”, “SLIDES”, and “ELK” every so often. The foliage was dense and close to the road, which cut along sharply rising (to the left) and falling (to the right) mountainside. Large ferns and moss covered white birch trees intermingled with wild celery. One right turn to explore a campground and we felt like we were back in El Yunque, the Puerto Rican rain forest we’d visited several years ago.
