Pristine forest surrounding the Olympic Mountain range.

This is a beautiful forest that is definitely a place to visit. If you like to hike, this is perfect and has a number of trails through the forest, over creeks, with mushrooms, soft underbrush and ferns, and sun shining through the trees.

The Olympic Coast national park.

Hoh Rain Forest is one of the nicest places I have ever seen in the world. You have to be here very early to beat the crowds but it is worth losing some sleep for it. After 11AM this place is so crowded with people, it is hard to enjoy the atmosphere. We were here at 8AM and had all the time in the world to do the "Hall of Mosses" trail with very few other people around. This place is magical ! You feel as if you are walking in a fairy tale forest with old trees and lots of mosses growing on those trees and sometimes dangling from the branches. We left at 11.30AM and the parking lot was completely full, there was a cue of cars trying to find a place to park and a cue of cars waiting at the ranger check point.

A grove of red cedar and Douglas fir trees, some over 1,000 years old.

Comfortable and accessible trail across a boardwalk and a fun suspension bridge. The old-growth trees were peaceful yet very impressive, and signposting made the place easy to understand and gave lots of fascinating background information. Great place to visit.

Hubby and I decided to take hwy 12 starting at i5 all the way through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest through to Eastern WA and then loop around to the Columbia River. What an awesome day trip! We saw an elk herd from hwy 12 not too far past Mayfield... but as we passed through the National Forest, we were excited to see how many little local shops there were to stop at along this vast wild part of WA. White Pass ski resort was popping off, with many people looking like they were enjoying the sunny day. It’ll be fun to hear up and go snowboarding there and really enjoy what White Pass has to offer. The views were so beautiful, lots of snow around still, but nothing that required chains. Then we hit Clear Lake! It was frozen solid over top, and such an amazing site to see! A few resort options along the way overlooking this impressive lake, with the Tieton Dam at the end. So happy we spent the morning driving through this way, heading East into Yakima. Once we passed Clear Lake, and got out of the mountain pass, the terrain changes and in almost feels like you’re in a different state. Fun drive and one I highly recommend!
