I grew up on the Olympic Peninsula and have traveled a fair amount around the world yet this rainforest holds a special place in my memories. It is profound in its majestic rainforest experience. This is a healthy drive from Seattle and you may want to plan an overnight or if camping is an option and is available. I can recommend amazing day hikes, meanderings or epic adventures.
