The folks at Olympic National Park have done a great job of keeping this area looking natural. It's a long drive from Seattle, but worth it when you add the other places to go to in the area.

Beautiful walk in the forest. We went on a wonderful day because it wasn't raining. It is gorgeous. I would recommend it for all ages as it is an easy walk. There are lots of good photo opportunities.

The drive to the Hoh rain forest from the National Park was amazing in itself. There are lots of spots to pull over and see the Hoh River. There are quite a few unique trees along a path with their own trails. I loved the moss covered giant trees. It was raining lightly but continuosly throughout my visit. Expect it... More

Did the Hall of Mosses hike.... incredible! The whole valley is amazing. Got to see the elk herd grazing along a creek in the rainforest. The whole area is worth the drive to the VC. Can't wait to go back and do some backpacking.

This place is filled with wonder. Hanging moss, ancient trees, river beds, naturally cleared trails, younger hardwoods. Slightly misting the whole time we were there but after all it is the rain forest. Tow Roosevelt elk were hanging around the Taft Creek bridge during our visit. Check it out.

If you are in this far western part of Washington State do not hesitate to drive the road from Forks area to the Hoh Rain Forest. The place is so green it doesnt seem real. Everything seems alive from the constant drip of water. We went on a rainy day (imagine there arent too many that arent that way!). The... More

Despite seeing the mountains and visiting Crescent Lake and doing the arduous hike up Mount Storm King, the Hoh Rain Forest was the favorite part of my trip to Olympic. Sadly, we arrived here later in the day then I had planned and could do only do a short hike through the forest before heading back to Seattle. The forest... More

Somehow I have learned to love the rain. It smells so good to hike in clean air too. This week I drove into Clearwater and as I got deeper in I spied large equipment up in Hoh. A huge amount of cutting was going on. The road turned into mud in some areas. There was debris everywhere. A few logging... More

This place is amazing. I have lived in Washington state all my life, and never even heard we had our own Rainforest until a couple years ago. I took my 4 kids, 11,9,7, and 3 and our exchange student from Spain (17). It was raining and so we had a completely authentic experience, I was worried we would be soaking... More

The rain forest is a wonderful place to hike or just do a pleasant hike. There are two small routes (average of 1 mile of round trip trail) that will expose you to the wonderful power of the rainforest and mossy trees. Ensure to have your North West pass or pay the day fee of $15 per car/day. Be aware... More
