Upper Goldstream Falls in Summer.
I like it more in Winter & early Spring - when almost no one else is there.

Beautiful 2nd growth cedar tree. Branches are covered in moss & lichens.

Another muddy part of hiking trail. There's another muddy section past the petrified cedar tree roots & then it goes uphill into drier parts.

Please enjoy & excuse my not smiling face.
I wanted to show folks that nature never wastes anything. I wanted to show how this dead tree is feeding new life growths & how many animals benefit from us letting nature do its thing.

I saw this huge Douglas fir tree trunk on our way back to parking spot.
When I first saw it - shouted out - LOOK AT THAT! They are WOOD SHORTS!
Then, my friend took a pic of me with the big wood shorts.

Big ferns & skunk cabbage foliage 🥰🥾
Our hands are in photos for scale. Plus, we like to touch trees & plants in the forest (except for toxic to touch ones).

Nadene, standing on old growth big leaf maple tree stump. I loved the gooseneck thick branch that extends out. There's huckleberry, cedar, big leaf maple & Douglas fir babies growing out of the stump.

These huge #cedar #trees are second growth. Old growth cedars are even larger. These two photos show how small we are, in comparison to the trees. While this park has some old growth to see - most of it is actually filled with 2nd & 3rd growth trees.

I usually take at least one photo of a friend's backside, walking along hiking trails - on my nature hiking adventures 😊🥾🌲
