Hoh Rain Forest

The Hoh Rain Forest is just that, a Rain Forest.  Reaching near 12 feet per year.  This trail is a unique opportunity to learn about many different species of plant life.  Especially lechens, mosses and ferns.
As you see from the map, from the Ranger Station to the Olympic Guard Station a hiker only gains 400 ft in elevation over 9 miles.  This is a very leisurely walk along well taken care of pathways.  This trail was easy enough for me to take my 4 year old son a week later.
This is a very popular trail for its ease and it is the access to Mt. Olympus.  Plan on seeing people.  Sometimes lots of people.  At the ranger station there is also two loop trails that are accessible to persons with disabilities.  These trails have instructional plaques indicating different species of plant life found in the Hoh Rain Forest.
