As someone from the E coast, Olympic is like someone took a forest and turned it up to 11. I understand the technical term is temperate rain forest, but nothing prepares you for the shear density of life.

Groups of trees in a line are common, like in the 2nd pic. That's because they grew on a fallen log that has since rotted away. If you leave anything there for a week, shit will be growing out of that too.

That's a good descriptor. We saw some absolutely bonkers growth formations on logs and stumps yesterday and were trying to figure out if they all grew organically or were somehow engineered by patient foresters and mycology nerds.

I want to go to there.

Do it. Hurricane Ridge entrance, about fifteen miles up. Once you pass the gravel piles start looking for a pulloff the right, and take the path up. It's not really marked.
