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.
