No, it's not tropical, but it is a Beautiful rainforest. It's hard to describe the primal beauty of this locale, because there is so much to marvel at. Make sure you wear your walking shoes and the mosquito repellent, because you'll need both. You may also need an umbrella (we didn't). We walked the Hall of Mosses, which was beautiful,... more

We did the Hall of Mosses trail and part way up the river trail. This part of the ONP is simply beautiful. The hikes are easy and you'll see things you won't see anywhere else. No, it is not a jungle, and yes there are lots of trees, but the shades of green are endless and the moss just fascinating.... more

If you are a Washington resident, you will probably not be real impressed with the Hoh Rainforest. I am a 20 year resident. I fish quite a bit, so I'm around a lot of beautiful river valleys in Washington that are similar to the Hoh Rainforest. The very large Sitka Spruce trees were impressive. Worth the drive if you are... more

We spent a full day and hit all three components of the Olympic National Park (mountain-Hurricane Ridge, rain forest-Hoh Rain Forest, and ocean-Rialto Beach). Our 2nd stop, out of three, was to the Hoh Rain Forest. In all, we probably spent about 2 hours walking the trails with our kids 2yo & 6yo. There are thousands of trees, many of... more

We didn't have much time, but wanted to see the rainforest, and so drove into the Hoh park entrance with plans to take the Hall of Mosses trail. The entrance is a pretty "national park" kind of place, with several restrooms, lots of parking, camping sites, and a very nice Visitor's Center. Entrances to the trails all start there --... more

I guess if you're not a nature focused person, you wouldn't enjoy the Hoh. For me, it's the most beautiful walk in the woods that I've ever taken. We've been twice, but our most recent trip (in October) was the best. We found we had the trails almost to ourselves. Everything was drippy and green, quiet and fragrant. We took... more

I thought the rainforest was nice, but I guess I dont get the hype. I prefer the beaches and mountains. Lake Crescent is a good area to stay in. I think the mini trail would have been sufficient for us. We took the hall of mosses trail, which only takes an hour or so but I guess I just prefer... more

Although this was a long drive from Seattle, the Hoh Rain Forest was beautiful. The only colors you see are green and brown. The trails are very friendly and safe. The trees were incredible (tall, wide..etc). If you are a nature lover, this place is a must see. You could spend a day there to take pictures. (bring extra memory... more

I have taken my family there on 3 separate occasions beginning in 1986 and we are planning another trip this summer. We have seen if from Port Angeles to beyond Forks, to the rainforest, mountains and the coastlines. The ferry ride from Fort Casey on Whidbey Island lays out the scenery and sets the tone for what is to come.... more
