General presentation

Hoh Rain Forest and the Olympic coast

Temperate rainforest, beaches covered with floating wood and sea stacks.

The discovery of Hoh Rain Forest and the Olympic Coast is centred around Hoh Rain Forest, Rialto Beach and Ruby Beach. The stay thus alternates between forests, coastline and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Hoh Rain Forest

4.7 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

In the Hoh Rain Forest, hemlock and spruce trunks disappear under mosses, lichens and giant ferns. The short trails near the visitor center already give this impression of a forest saturated with moisture, while the Hoh River adds milky pebbles to the decor.

The Olympic National Park juxtaposes glaciers, temperate rainforests, salmon rivers and long beaches beaten by the Pacific. The Hoh Valley envelops the walker with giant mosses and trunks, while the coast reveals rocky stacks, floating wood and tides that impose their schedules.

Nature and landscape

Rialto Beach

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Rialto Beach The rough rib of black pebbles, whited trunks and sea batteries beaten by the Pacific. The light quickly changes between mist, sprays and holes in the sun; at low tide, the walk towards Hole-in-the-Wall reveals tidal basins and rocks covered with anemones.

Nature and landscape

Ruby Beach

4.5 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Ruby Beach combines the strongest images of the Olympic coast: flooded wood, dark sand, rocky stacks and the mouth of Cedar Creek. Colours are often more beautiful in the covered sky, when the rocks break out in the mist and the beach takes silvery reflections.
