The Hoh Rainforest is the Olympic National Park´s classic densely forested entrance in thousands of brilliant shades of green. Just 30 minutes from Forks the Hoh Rainforest is the quiet star of the rainforest valleys. As you travel down the quiet country "Upper Hoh Road" you will be treated to glimpses of the sometimes teal and other times grey Hoh River. It travels from the glaciers of Mount Olympus to the Pacific Ocean in less than 70 miles. The Hoh river is a must see for nature-lovers who want more than a drive through version of the rainforest. At the visitor center people can inform themselves on flora, fauna and backcountry camping. This is the favorite entrance for climbers to reach Mount Olympus and its many glaciers. Many activities are availabe in the Hoh valley, including rafting, kayaking, biking and hiking. Expansive logging roads circling the outscirts of the park are an explorer´s dream come true. A cafe and gas station are also available on the Upper Hoh Rd..
