One of the most amazing parts of the Olympic Peninsula is the biodiversity within such close proximity. After visiting the beach, our next stop was the rainforest. We explored the Hoh Rainforest and were able to camp for free just outside of the National Park on State Forest Land. This helped us get to the trailhead early and start hiking before the crowds came. After spending so much time in the snow, seeing all of the shades of green was amazing. Plants and mosses were growing on every available surface and huge Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlocks formed the canopy. We got to see multiple waterfalls and mountain views along the Hoh River. The highlight of the hike was a cedar grove of about 10 massive trees!
