True to its name, the Hoh Rain Forest gets between 140 and 170 inches of rainfall every year. The result is a beautifully lush canopy of greenery with vegetation that includes both coniferous and deciduous trees as well as a wide variety of mosses and ferns.

The Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center features several exhibits explaining the special features of the area, and staff members are happy to help guests plan their visit. Visitors interested in spending the night can book one of the 88 campsites located in the old growth forest along the river; the campsite is open year-round.
