Ancient, moss-draped Sitka spruce and western hemlock form cathedral-like aisles ideal for atmospheric, textural forest photography. Visit early morning or after rain for low-angle shafts of light and mist; late afternoon yields soft sidelighting. Located in Olympic National Park (park pass/fee required). Campground parking is available but limited—arrive early on weekends. Wet, muddy trails call for waterproof gear and sturdy boots.
