North American Coast
Along the American and Canadian Pacific coastline is one of the worldās most outstanding temperate rainforests. It defies the conventional ideas of what a rainforest is ā a forest in the tropics with brightly colored animals and plants ā but it does, nevertheless, fit the definition of a rainforest. It is a forest that receives a significant amount of rainfall in a year, and it has plant life that is unique to the forest region. Temperate rainforests are also close to the ocean.
Tannins leaching into the waters and a shallow sandy bottom reflecting the light creates a golden stream in the Brazilian Amazon.

The Hoh Rainforest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state, USA. It is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S.[1] Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 24 miles (39 km) of low elevation forest 394 to 2,493 feet (120 to 760 m) along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 48 km (30 mi) of river, much of the forest has been logged within the last century, although many pockets of forest remain.

British Columbia is home to close to 25% of the worldās temperate rainforest. This unique eco-system covers vast tracts of BCās coastal areas and islands, and is a rich habitat for thousands of species of flora and fauna.
The top pick to explore BCās rainforest is the stunning Pacific Rim, on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The West Coast Trail is much more than a breathtakingly beautiful hike ā it is the remnants of history that take you in the footsteps of the First People. It is also a challenging hiking trail, and requires careful preparation and planning.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE POINTS ITEMIZED:
The trail is open May through September, is 75 km long and takes 5-7 days to hike. The terrain is uneven, and you must be prepared for slippery conditions on muddy trails, wooden surfaces, boulders and rocky shorelines.
At various parts of the trails you will be wading through rivers, negotiating steep slopes, climbing ladders and using cable cars
It is not unheard of for structures on the trail to be unexpectedly damaged by storms and other natural phenomena. Likewise, the climate of this temperate rainforest can change quickly and dramatically. You must be prepared for unpredictable weather conditions and changes on the trail
Accidents and injuries do happen on the West Coast Trail. If an accident should occur, it may take up to 24 hours for help to arrive.
With scattered storm in the forcast Amy and I decided to take a chance and walk about a quarter mile in and near the tunnel just west of Marengo Indiana on the NS Louisville District to shoot this westbound freight. It was sunny when we walked in but it didnt take long for the clouds to roll in and the heavy rains begin. As the rain comes down in buckets we take cuver under a rock shelf and commence the shooting as this pair of SD60's rumble out of the tunnel working hard to pull its way west.
This stream is running off the base of the Tooronga falls through the rainforest. A beautiful, natural environment...and I only had 2 leeches attach themselves to me!!
Olympic National Park, located along the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State covers about 922,000 acres. It is a very diverse region, within the park there are 3 distinct ecosystems which are the Pacific coastline, alpine areas, and rainforest. It was my first visit to this diverse and unique park back in Spring of 2015. Spent a week there was just enough to scratch the surface of it. To really explore the park, youāll need to backpacking deep into the rainforest, or days of hiking along the Pacific coastline. Will have to make my way back one day to capture more of itās beauty. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the little taste of it from that short week I was there.

Daintree is the oldest rainforest in the world by some estimates. The Amazon is a baby by comparison. Near Port Douglas, Australia. The Daintree River runs through the park to the ocean.

At an estimated 130 million years old, Borneo's rainforest is two times as old as the Amazon rainforest in South America. The biodiversity of Borneo's rainforests is among the richest in the world, rivalling forests of New Guinea and the Amazon.

The most beautiful and most popular waterfalls are not always the most beautiful. This
waterfall is not so large and almost hidden into the jungles. Bali, Indonesia
So blessed to spend the winter with all this greenš²š³
I love how this forest reclaims the empty spaces left by human interference.
