Fun Facts

The Hall of Mosses features ancient trees, some of which are over 1,000 years old, draped in lush green mosses.

The area's high annual rainfall, averaging over 140 inches, creates the perfect environment for the dense moss and fern growth.

It is located within the Olympic National Park, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 1981 for its unique ecosystems and biodiversity.

The trail is named for the thick, green moss that blankets the trees, creating a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere.

Despite the seasonal changes, the trail remains open throughout the year, offering a different natural spectacle each season.

The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including Roosevelt elk, black bears, and numerous bird species.

The trail is only about 0.8 miles long, making it accessible for most visitors, including families with children.
