Hoh Rain Forest

After leaving Lake Quinault, we drove to our next reservation in Forks, via the Hoh Rain Forest, which is an odd thing to visit during the driest part of the year!


8-22 Big Cedar 2And when we drove past a sign that said “Big Cedars, That Way”, we went That Way.

Sorry, Sitka Spruce, cedars are both more beautiful and more impressive.

The kids just saw it as another climbing structure.

We made it to the Hoh Visitor Center.

We took just two of the shorter hikes, and it was so beautiful…with lots of kissing bridges we put to good use!

I told Wesley not to go up to his thighs, but I think he heard “eyes” because he managed to get pretty soaked, and I forgot to take a picture of him.  Actually, he’s a good source of exercise, because although he hates hiking, he loves running through the trails…and one of his parents has to keep up with him!
