Sights
The Hoh Rainforest is home to a National Park Service ranger station, from which backcountry trails extend deeper into the national park. A short, popular, 0.8 mile trail near the visitor center is the Hall of Mosses Trail, which gives visitors a feel for the local ecosystem and views of maples draped with large growths of spikemoss. In addition, there is the Spruce Nature Trail (1.2 miles), which conveniently displays information on various trailside trees and plants.

Famous quotes containing the word sights:
“We can’t always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“O Lord, methought what pain it was to drown,
What dreadful noise of waters in my ears!
What sights of ugly death within my eyes!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
