Spruce Nature Trail and Hall of Mosses GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

The Hoh Rainforest of Olympic National Park definitely deserves more than just a few hours to explore the amount of life, layers, and elements in this place. Moss hangs from every limb, and it was impossible to tell where parts of trees stopped and other plants began because everything grew on top of everything else. Pictures really can't translate the infinite detail of this place. Walking along the wide trails doesn't feel as inclusive as it could, but I suppose such a pretty place attracts a wide audience. At a point, the trail opens up to see the Hoh River, with pretty mountains in the distance.

A nurselog caused these trees to grow in a straight line. So cool.
