You step from the minivan onto a narrow, leaf-strewn path where the forest takes the first breath — humid air easing into your lungs, a chorus of wings and insect calls weaving above. The guide fits you with rubber boots, and the trail pulls you inward: moss-slick roots, small streams daring you to step light, and shafts of light that make the canopy feel like a living roof.
