Ferns cover the ground and mosses drape the Sitka spruce, Douglas fir and big-leaf maples. Some of the trees measure over 300 feet high and 25 feet in circumference! Hiking the Hall of Mosses is like walking through a large silent sanctuary.

Olympic Peninsula–Hoh Rain Forest
The Rain Forest is layer upon layers of green. 140 to 170 inches of rain per year create a lush canopy and understory. The light is soft and filtered by the luxurious growth.
