Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We’ll explore the dense and lush trails of the Hoh - a temperate rainforest that once ran as far north as Alaska. Mosses and ferns hanging from the trees create an enchanted atmosphere for our walk. Our hike today is tailored to your group's abilities and preferences.

We’ll walk along the shores of the Pacific with massive rock formations rising from the water on one side and tall, dense pine trees on the other. Depending on tide levels, we may even see the unique Tree of Life, its roots growing as a roof to a sea cave.

We'll plan our schedule around the tides so we can spend some time exploring the tide pools of the shore - which are bursting with fascinating aquatic life.

See the beautiful, massive, and ancient Big Cedar Tree - a giant among giants on the Olympic Peninsula.
