Hoh Favorite Tips by JetlagCity

The Rainforest - Old Growth Giants

Fondest memory: Old growth trees seem to soar into the sky - it makes me dizzy just to look up at them sometimes. They never fail to fill me with wonder. Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock, Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar populate the Hoh Rainforest, but my favorites are the big-leaf Maples. Moss carpets and drapes the trees, and ferns cover the forest floor.

Bring Your Own Food

Fondest memory: There's no "lodge" with a dining room, and no grocery stores, general stores, or restaurants for about 45 minutes around, so don't think you'll stock up on stuff when you get there. The nearest town is Forks (about 45 minutes away).
