Take a 40-minute drive to the Hoh Rainforest and spend a day among moss and mushrooms. Visit popular sections of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (PNT), such as Rialto Beach, or stay in the park to hike along the PNT in the Bogachiel Rainforest. Enjoy dinner at Kalaloch or in Forks, where you can also pick up "Twilight" souvenirs for the vampire story fan in your family.
The PNT is a 1,200-mile-long footpath through some of the most spectacular and scenic terrain in the United States. To plan your trip on the PNT, visit the Pacific Northwest Trail Association website.
