Rain Forest Nature Trail

Reviewed By dunadan - Lynnwood, United States

Shortly after entering the Quinault area on South Shore Road, you'll see the turnout for a parking lot that will take you to the Rain Forest Nature Trail loop, the first of several loops possible in the area. But the Rain Forest trail, a short half-mile walk, is a great introduction to the wonders of the rainforest. It is well-signed with explanatory text on what trees you are seeing, the other fauna and flora in the forest, the age of the trees, the importance of fallen trees, and lots of other interesting facts. Take the time to stop and read them on your stroll and soak in the beauty: you are forest bathing!
