Hoh River Trail

The Hoh River Trail runs near the eponymous river, through the heart of the superb Hoh Rainforest on the western side of the Olympic National Park, among huge and ancient maple, spruce, Douglas fir and hemlock and giant ferns.

Just under 9km round trip, or you can continue on to Glacier Meadows. A place some 3 miles further on is claimed to be the quietest spot in the U.S. Hmm.

The Hoh is one of the busiest places in the Olympic NP due to it being the most famous rainforest.

Most hikers visit during the summer months, so we suggest you come in spring or on autumn weekends.

This can be remote mountain walking, on which you will have to be self-sufficient and the weather is often bad here. Come prepared. Helpful information, hptos and ideas at; https://www.10adventures.com/hikes/olympic-national-park/hoh-river-trail/
