From Herring Cove trail in Sitka

First view of Tongass temperate rainforest was magical. This was Herring Cove trail with a loop around Beaver lake. The trail is beautifully maintained. There are waterfalls, creeks, lake, and bogs. The understory is lush. Around the lake, there are benches to sit around and enjoy the view.

Very “Lord of the Rings” feel to the trail
The fallen tree trunks host a variety of smaller plants, the western bunchberry with red edible berries being one of many.

The boardwalk with the added net helps with traction
