Pretty amazing hikes await you in Quinault. Being from the Midwest it is almost like being on another planet for me.

Worth the drive from Seattle for sure. Insanely beautiful rain or shine and so close to the ocean. Amongst beautiful mountains, so lush. You have to go!

This is the world's largest temperate rain forest, and friends who like it best are hikers. I get bored driving through it, and the rainy roads are really annoying with logging truck road spray. But get out of your vehicle and it's another world. We took a tour out of Lake Quinault Lodge, with a very knowledgable guide who made... More

We took the long, almost 4 miles hike starting just below Lake Quinault Lodge, climbing past several stunning waterfalls and amazing gorges, towering ancient trees, bogs, and so much more. We had a ten and fourteen year old with us, and they enjoyed it just as much as we did. There are some steep portions, but if you take your... More

We made a few stops along the way and took lots of pictures, It was enchanting and I really thought my legs were going to be sore the following day but they were'nt !... More

There isn't much there - we did go see the large spruce tree and stayed at the Quinault Lodge. (Very nice). We at supper down the road about 500 feet - excellent salmon dinner.

This is an experience of a lifetime. If you haven't been there, you need to visit. Beautiful trails to walk. Great place to camp.

The Quinault Rain Forest is not highly commercial. It is lovely and primitive. It illustrates all the elements of what a temperate "rainforest" is.

We were headed towards the Worlds' Biggest Spruce tree, when we saw the sign for this trail and took it. It was a sheer pleasure - very appropriate for either adults or families with kids. It is an easy half-mile loop on a meandering path that takes you by majestic trees, a rushing stream, and many other sights. And it... More
