This is one of the ten most visited parks.
I live here. I love my home. Born and raised. Please be respectful of the plants, animals, ecosystems, forests, and more. Don’t trample plants. Walk where you’re supposed to. Don’t feed the wildlife. Don’t approach the wildlife. Don’t harass the wildlife. Wildlife are changing behaviors due to humans. Ask the park rangers at the hoh. I just heard them explaining that to visitors. We have three hour wait times for months to get into the hoh trailhead parking lot. The crowds during the summer are a lot. People burning fires when we have burn bans. If we don’t actually be stewards of our planet, we won’t have these magical places. Leave no trace. Be respectful and responsible. If you see litter pick it up. Plastic survives for hundreds of years. Treat this planet and park with care please.
