Quinault rain forest loop
The Quinault rain forest loop is about a 31 mile road that loops around Lake Quinault and up along the Quinault River in the Olympic National Park. There are hiking trails and waterfalls that you can see right off the road. The road is paved, but full of pot holes the entire way so drive slow.
