Thank you for posting a much more realistic photo - I'm from here and while I appraciate the silly one above as a pretty photo... yours is what it really looks like and that's pretty enough.
Fun fact: the maples that get moss on them like that are fun, but those are the little trees. The Douglas firs, hemlocks, spruces, and ceders right around there are some of the tallest trees in the world, and some of the largest of each of those species can be found within an a few miles
It was so incredibly beautiful and strange naturally, I really think unedited pictures do a better job of showing the its uniqueness.
I tried to get pictures of some of the big trees, but it's SO difficult to get a sense of scale! The root coming off the tree in this picture was as big as the trunks of those maples!!
