Nestled within Olympic National Park, the Hoh Rain Forest is a lush, moss-draped wonderland often compared to America’s Amazon. This temperate rainforest boasts towering old-growth spruces, redwoods, and firs that can reach up to 300 feet (91 meters) in height. Accessible by car and with a park pass, visitors can explore this verdant landscape, where the air is thick with moisture and the forest floor is carpeted in a rich tapestry of green. The Hoh Rain Forest offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the serene and primeval beauty of one of the finest temperate rainforests in the United States.
