Quinault Rain Forest

Tree rings are of a large size. Often over 1/2” growth a year. Some trees don’t look large in photos but are in fact giants. One here is about 40’ in circumference. 
Very tall trees hundreds of feet tall.

Temperate Rain Forest 

"There is an average of 10 to 15 feet, (120” - 140” up to 180”) of rainfall each year. Moisture is evident everywhere. Clouds, fog and forest growth help keep temperatures moderate summer and winter. This moisture and moderate temperature ensure plant growth and provides habitat for a wide variety of critters year round. And it’s the rainfall that makes this area unique."
