Hall of Mosses
With an average annual rainfall of 150 inches, this lush temperate rain forest requires waterproof shoes. Trees soar more than 300 feet into the sky, while mosses, lichens and mushrooms cover the ground. Three nature walks, including the trek through the Hall of Mosses, are easy enough for the entire family, while more adventurous hikers can load up the gear and spend the weekend along the Hoh River or on the slopes of Mount Olympus.

The folks at the ranger station happily provide suggestions and maps to various points of interest. No matter which path you take, chances are you'll spot some wildlife: Raccoons, hares, elk and cougar all make their homes here. Nature lovers staying overnight will appreciate nearby Kalaloch Lodge, the only hotel in the vicinity. Overnight camping spots are available in the forest on a first-come, first-served basis, for $10 per night.

Family Fun Trip to Olympic National Park
By Ingrid
3 days
This 3-day exploration of Olympic National Park, one of the Top US Destinations, is a great getaway. If you live within 4-hrs drive from this place, 3 days will give you a nice immersion. If you're further away, I'd add Seattle to the trip & make this a 7-day trip (especially if you're flying in).

Who woulda thought there is a rainforest in the U.S.? This place is really beautiful.
