Dense, rich forest<br> Alaska picture - There were mosses and lichens everywhere. Clara said to imagine the woods after a dusting and powdering of snow; this forest is so dusted and powdered with moss and lichen. John Muir, visiting in 1879, wrote that "the trees are heavily draped with lichens, giving the woods a remarkably gray, ancient look."
