Title: Rainforest Loop Trail
Main Text
Explore a rare inland temperate rainforest along this 1/4-mile Rainforest Loop Trail, a result of abundant rainfall and mild temperatures found in the Carbon River Valley. Rich in old growth trees, the area is thick with huge, moss-covered Sitka spruce, Douglas-fir and western red-cedar. Beneath these intertwined canopies of trees are thick understory, lush ground, and soft, spongy soil. Feel the moist air and breathe the earthy smell in the cool, damp shade of the rainforest.

Exhibit Panel Description
This exhibit panel is oriented vertically, with the text at the top against a green background. The solid green background fades into a photo that fills the bottom two-thirds of the panel. The photo shows a dense forest of tall trees, with the ground covered in shrubs, ferns, and plants with large green leaves. In the upper right corner of the panel, a small circular graphic shows a drawing of a boot stepping on a wildflower crossed out by a red slash. Next to the graphic text reads: "Protect Fragile Vegetation Stay on Trails". A small box in the lower left corner of the panel reads "User Fee Project. Your Fee Dollars at Work. Entrance fees were used to produce this exhibit".
