Deep in the Forest
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”. John Muir.
There is much to be said about wandering aimlessly in the forest. Once you head off the path, you need to start making your own choices, and living with the consequences of those choices.
I took this in MacMillan Provincial Park on Vancouver Island. British Columbia, Canada.

Amazing landscape
Thank you
Wow so verdant. Ferns (and quote ha ha) remind me of Muir Woods just north of here. Wonderful photo and I love the writings of John Muir
Would love to get to Muir Woods !
Another awesome image. Reminds me a little of the rain forest areas of Far North Queensland here in Australia. Different trees of course, just the colours, the moss on that fallen tree...
Yep there are some amazing forests up in FNQ. I hope to get back there some time next year.
I used to live in Cairns for a bit so got around up there a lot. You ever been deep in the rain forest at night? Now THAT'S an experience.

Yes I did a few guided night hikes in Bolivian Amazon hoping to see some Tapir. No luck on the Tapir but we did track some prints for quite a while and also found some Jaguar prints which was a bit freaky.
It's primal, the rain forest at night, I think. I felt like I didn't belong there amongst the wild things. I'm not afraid of the dark but it was...Odd to be there after dark.
I trekked the "Kokoda Trail" in Papua New Guinea as well and got the same feeling.

Would love to do Kokoda one day; although I would be more tempted to climb Puncak Jaya
I'm into history (war history) so Kokoda was for that purpose, to pay my respects. It was difficult but then it sounds like you know your way around a hiking boot. I can highly recommend it. I don't know much about Puncak Jaya...Any hike is a good one though. 😀

Yes I would like to do it one day for that reason also. My brother did it a few years back. It is a tough slog by all accounts. Most of my knowledge of the history of the track comes from reading the Peter FitzSimons book about it.
if your into war history , I assume your a Dan Carlin fan .
Wow, that sounds fun!
Yes it was. I would love to go back and spend a bit more time there.
