Olympic National Park Hoh River Backpacking Trek

Experience the wonders of the Hoh Rainforest and hike the Hoh River to its source, the Blue Glacier!

The abun­dance and diver­si­ty of nat­ur­al beau­ty expe­ri­enced on this trip make it per­haps the most com­plete and reward­ing trekking expe­ri­ence we offer in the North­west. This trail winds through the Hoh Rain­for­est, one of the largest tem­per­ate rain­forests in the Unit­ed States pro­vid­ing a tru­ly unique expe­ri­ence. Its char­ac­ter­is­tics and beau­ty has been rec­og­nized as a World Her­itage Site by UNESCO- we’re talk­ing a place that stands proud among the world’s most amaz­ing places!

If you’ve always want­ed to get up close and per­son­al with Mount Olym­pus, but not climb the peak, this is the per­fect option to take it all in.

As you pass through tem­per­ate rain­for­est, stands of tow­er­ing old growth trees sur­round you. The for­est soon gives way to the alpine and splen­did alpine lakes. From the final camp at Glac­i­er Mead­ows the mas­sive Blue Glac­i­er is a stone’s throw away, slow­ly moves down the moun­tain. This is a true, one-of-a-kind wilder­ness expe­ri­ence, a trek that caters to a wide range of abil­i­ties and has some­thing for everyone.
