Overview

With an average annual rainfall of 150 inches, this lush temperate rain forest requires waterproof shoes. Trees soar more than 300 feet into the sky, while mosses, lichens and mushrooms cover the ground. Three nature walks, including the trek through the Hall of Mosses, are easy enough for the entire family, while more adventurous hikers can load up the gear and spend the weekend along the Hoh River or on the slopes of Mount Olympus. The folks at the ranger station happily provide suggestions and maps to various points of interest. No matter which path you take, chances are you'll spot some wildlife: Raccoons, hares, elk and cougar all make their homes here. Nature lovers staying overnight will appreciate nearby Kalaloch Lodge, the only hotel in the vicinity. Overnight camping spots are available in the forest on a first-come, first-served basis, for $10 per night.

Nice place but was so tired when I visited I can't give a good review. The Hall of Moss Trail will yield incredible photos.

It is still the most gorgeous place I've been too. If I could only chose to return to one place, the Hoh rain forest is it. It's beautiful, peaceful, clean and natural. Such a refreshing and inspiring place to be. Perfect for family vacations, romantic getaways, or road trips with friends. I was on a summer vacation with my parents when I went, but was dreaming of returning many times. I tell everyone going near Washington to go to the Hoh rain forest. As far as value, I don't remember paying anything to enter the forest.

It was like an enchanted forest out of a story book. We loved it! we would return and spend more time there. My daughter would love this place! Why would anyone give it a bad review when it was so beautiful.
