There is so much moisture in part due to large weather systems and adiabatic processes that the moss grows on moss which grows on moss and the entire region is a characterized as an actual rain forest/rain band. The terrain is beautiful, yet dangerous and rough. Bears, cougars, moose, elk, deer and other large mammals to keep you on your toes. The fall season and spring season are infested with mosquitoes. On the flip side, if you're an effective hunter, fisher and forager you will not starve as there is an absolutely massive food web.
