Temperate rain forest is the name given to a forest that contains a considerable number of tall trees in an area that is very rainy and neither very cold or very hot.

The Pacific Northwest United States is such an area. The Olympic National Park, which is situated in the northwest corner of the state of Washington is a temperate rain forest.

Rainfall there exceeds twelve feet per year. Temperature seldom drops below freezing or rises above 80° F.

Temperate rain forests, unlike tropical rain forests do not have as large of a variety of tree species. Also tropical rain forest tend to very hot.
