What to expect

The Hoh Rain Forest is a temperate rainforest located on the west side of Olympic National Park. It is one of the finest remaining examples of temperate rainforest in the United States and is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including giant trees like Sitka Spruce, Red Cedar, Big Leaf Maple, and Douglas Fir. The forest floor is dense with undergrowth and the canopy is thick, providing shade and habitat for animals like Roosevelt Elk, Black Bears, River Otter, and many others. Visitors can explore the forest through two short loop trails and an out-and-back trail near the Visitor Center. The area is also home to many mosses and ferns, and the forest is teeming with life around every root. The Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center offers visitor information, exhibits, and a bookstore, making it a great place to learn about the forest and its unique ecosystem
