Morning mist lifts off a high ridge and the trail ahead smells of wet earth and wild ginger. Hikers meet their guide in Hue and soon trade city heat for a cool canopy where the forest seems to breathe around you; small lakes mirror the sky, a waterfall thunders downslope, and a distant seam of sea and lagoon appears over the canopy.
