Border of muskeg with western hemlock trees (Tsuga heterophylla) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) festooned with moss and usnea (Usnea longissima), and Alaska blueberry Vaccinium ovalifolium and false azalea (Menziesia ferruginea).
Although the temperate rain forest of Southeast Alaska is evergreen there is never any shortage of beautiful autumnal colours in the understory vegetation such as the blueberry bushes and the sphagnum moss and miniature plants of the muskeg.
