“#easytravelpost Deer Mountain Trail starts at the end of Deermount St in Ketchikan, climbs 3,000 ft over 2.5 mi to the 3,001 ft summit through Tongass old-growth — but the mossy lower 1.5 mi is the traveler's hit: Isothecium on the sitka spruce 1 cm, Polytrichum on the nurse log 2 cm, Sphagnum in the creek seep 3 cm, 10°C in May drizzle, the hermit thrush, the cruise ships tiny in the harbour.”@oih88 · 2 months ago
