  • Hiking Hoh River Trail in Olympic National Park in the middle of the Hoh Rainforest. Bonus footage of The Big Cedar Tree.
    LEARN HOW TO AVOID CROWDED NATIONAL PARK TRAILS during the best time to visit National Parks.
    Come with us on a beautiful but somewhat gothic looking hike in Olympic National Park on the Hoh River Trail. This is an EPIC hike that definitely needs to be on your BUCKET LIST!
    When we finally arrived at Olympic National Park to hike the Hoh River Trail, we were exhausted from getting up before sunrise, driving to the beach, hunting for starfish and having to wait in traffic to get into Olympic National Park. However, once we started our hike on the Hoh River Trail, our exhaustion was quickly slipping away and our inner being was rejuvenated in a way that words cannot explain.
    I don't want to spoil this episode by giving out any more information, so lets get to it!

      We have visited 30 or so National Parks but the Hoh River Trail is one of our top 5 trails of all time. Olympic National Park is very unique with the ocean on one side of the road and the Hoh Rainforest on the other side. I don't think you will be disappointed!

    The bonus footage at the end of the Big Cedar Tree was AMAZING! Backcountry Colorado is my bucket list adventure this year!

      The Big Cedar Tree is right off of HWY 101 in Olympic National Park and it only takes a few minutes to hike to it.

    I've been up the Hoh overnight 6 times. On any ONP trail, I can tell where the day hikers turn around as the trail gets a lot more intimate. There is no comparison between the short over-used interpretive loops and getting out into the actual forest.

      Hi @TrailGunnerHikes, this was our first trip to Washington State, and we fell in love with the parks there. We spent 2 weeks visiting and wanted to backpack ONP but my wife (Tina) hurt her knee just before we left for this trip. We live on the east coast, but we hope to come back to ONP to venture further into the forest.

    I’ll be I that way in June, hoping they’ll get some rain before I get out there.

    The traffic lines to get into Washington national parks is pretty typical anymore. The Olympics and Rainier can take a long time to get into!

    • @HikengoSeekers
      @HikengoSeekers  Před rokem

      That's why we only did one hike each day and drove in early before the crowds begin to build.

      Hi Richard, we went the last week of July. Just after the heat wave in WA last year. Without hesitation, we would go back again in July. Enjoy!
