Trailhead

Three trails begin just outside the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center: The Hoh River Trail (17.4 miles/28 km one way), a starting point for backpackers headed toward Mount Olympus or for a longer day hike, and two short loop trails, the Hall of Mosses and the Spruce Nature Trail. The Hoh is a wildlife hot spot - within just a few steps of the trailhead, you might see Roosevelt elk, river otters, birds, Coho salmon, black bears, or even a bobcat! In winter when the Coho return from the ocean to spawn, you might even spot an otter or bobcat fishing.
