Hoh Rain Forest

Hoh Rain Forest, located on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, is one of the world's largest temperate rainforests. It receives over 150 inches of rainfall annually, creating ideal conditions for lush, dense vegetation. The forest is characterized by towering Sitka spruce and Western hemlock trees, lush green mosses, and abundant ferns. Its high moisture levels support a rich ecosystem of plants, animals, and fungi. The area is a protected national park, offering visitors a striking example of a thriving, old-growth rainforest that underscores the importance of conserving such unique, moisture-dependent environments.
