April 11, 2021One of the most stunning visual and visceral experiences - like a fantasy land
April 10, 2021April 10, 2021Love the rainforest with views of the mountains up the Hoh River Valley. Lots of roots but trail in great shape.
April 9, 2021March 27, 2021March 26, 2021March 25, 2021Great hike.... sunshine, rain, muddy trails with roots but well worth it.
March 23, 2021Great trail. It was quite muddy because it’s March in Western Washington, but there were several places with enough standing water on the trail to make it more challenging. No bear siting and not too many people this time of year.
March 22, 2021Pretty awesome hike to get away from any crowds at hall of Mosses or Spruce Trail. Muddy, wet, but who cares it’s a rainforest.
March 15, 2021Muddy but nice. Not sure the full 3 miles to the waterfall is really worth it. But it’s a pretty walk through the rainforest
March 13, 2021March 11, 2021February 27, 2021Very muddy! Lots of down trees and streams to cross with no bride
February 6, 2021January 19, 2021it was abselutely beautiful. easy hike, with hardly any elevation. it was muddy, along the way, so prepare to wear good waterproof hiking boots.
January 16, 2021January 9, 2021The trail is well marked and wild at the same time. In some parts of the trail, it got muddy. In other parts of the trail it was overran with a stream of water. possible to cross, but tricky. Then it got cold. Felt like freezing temperatures even with all our layers. (baselayer, fleece, puffy, rain shell, and accessories) But I also felt dry in the cold. Dressing in layers helped out a lot, as did waterproof boots and good, thick socks.
January 1, 2021Beautiful trail along the river. Was muddy in several places and you need to cross a few creeks, so bring sturdy waterproof boots and gaiters. Do need to do some climbing over down trees. The creek and falls is very pretty.
December 31, 2020Great trail. Come prepared with water proof hiking boots if you come in December. I would do it again. and again.
December 31, 2020Beautiful, easy trail with a cool waterfall. The trail was flooded and muddy in spots but was what I expected for a rain forest. I forgot to start my app so the mileage is about .5 miles short. So many possibilities for longer hiked and backpacking on this trail. I wish I had more time! Oh well, next time!!!
