A low cloud hangs like a slow-moving curtain over high ridges as you step from the minivan into cool, moss-scented air. The boardwalk into the Mossy Forest threads through trees sheathed in green—moss draping branches and roots as if the forest itself were slowly breathing. Light is diffused; sounds are softened. The guide points out orchids tucked into trunks and tiny pitcher plants cupping rain.
