There are countless beautiful places for us to travel to on Earth. Some of them are so breathtaking, in fact, that they hardly feel real. Some of these places are man-made, like the “Sanctuary of Truth” museum in Thailand. Then there are spots like the Hoh Rain Forest. Located in Washington State’s Olympic National Park, it’s known for some of the most unique views in the United States. Part of the reason why is because it’s one of the only temperate rainforests in the country. As a result, the forest’s ecosystem makes it unlike most others. Plus, there is so much to explore! Luckily, there are a few ways to do just that — two short loop trails and an out-and-back trail. No matter which route you take, you’re sure to experience an unforgettable journey. If you want a sneak peek, or can’t go in person yourself, it’s fun to check out social media for videos like the one below. @lacey_spalding Exploring the Hoh forest in Washington State ♬ Rainforest – Nature Radiance & Nature Sounds Even though this clip only gives us 10 seconds of this unique forest, it tells us so much about it. For one, we get an idea of how massive the trees are here. When the woman in the video explores the area, she looks so tiny! This is a common theme you’ll find in videos that showcase the Hoh Rain Forest. Take a Virtual Journey Through the Breathtaking Hoh Rain Forest @stephaniebureau Hoh Rain Forest was truly magical. I am still impressed by how tall the trees were and how this place was so lush and green. You have to see it to understand the feeling of walking among those giants #magicforest #washington #pnw #pacificnorthwest #olympicnationalpark #hohforest #hohrainforest ♬ Waterfall – James Quinn “Hoh Rain Forest was truly magical. I am still impressed by how tall the trees were and how this place was so lush and green,” Stéphanie writes in the caption for the video above. “You have to see it to understand the feeling of walking among those giants.” The gorgeous views aren’t the only reason so many folks love the Hoh Rain Forest. Turns out, it’s one of the quietest places you can visit in the United States. There are a few reasons why that’s the case. For starters, it’s located far away from human-made noise, like highways. Plus, its dense vegetation acts as a kind of soundproofing. @slcook52 A dream in the misty rain #hohrainforest #rainforest #pnwonderland #fyp #washington #relaxingvideos #olympicpeninsula #olympicnationalpark #twilightsaga #forks #twilightvibes ♬ الصوت الأصلي – حجي علي للبالات ✪ In fact, there is one small area within the forest that has been deemed the “One Square Inch of Silence.” An acoustic ecologist, Gordon Hempton, deemed this so, in part, to raise awareness of maintaining places that are untouched by noise pollution. All of those things considered, it’s no wonder that this forest can get over 100,00 visitors in a single year. Speaking of which, is anyone else already daydreaming about a future visit here?
