Added by Troy Cini
This hike is one of a kind in North America. You will experience massive old growth trees, unique wildlife, and endless sights.
For any hiker visiting Olympic National park this is a must stop. No other hike in North America will you experience what this lush, green, old growth forest has to offer. Park at the trail head dedicate for Hoa rainforest access. Keep in mind this parking lot is a good hours drive into the park from the main highway. Although very scenic, be sure to schedule accordingly. The Hike begins on the trail that leads to the glacier however hiking the whole trail takes more than a day. Thus being said, hike for as far as your heart desire while taking in the beauty. The trail follows the river upstream with minor rocks and roots in the path. Be sure to keep an out for wildlife and massive trees! Congrats, you just hiked in a rain forest!!!
