Columbine<br> Alaska picture - The dense forest was wet, misty and rainy throughout our hike here. The Tongass is a temperate rain forest that receives about 150 inches of rainfall each year. Note how different the wild columbine is from the domesticated ones at the Butchart Gardens (http://www.worldisround.com/articles/353941/photo15.html). We saw wonderful wildflowers here and views of the Mendenhall Glacier.
