Context: There was SO MUCH traffic when we entered the park, so I had very high expectations of how the rainforest was going to look. In the past, I never felt like I was good at compositions in the forest and I was rather nervous. When we arrived inside the park, there were a lot more evergreens than I anticipated. I thought the entire forest was going to look like a bog since that’s what I saw on social media. Overall, I wish I could have spent more time to find more compositions. I feel like editing a photo containing tall trees while on ground level is incredibly difficult. The extraneous leaves and branches always make the picture look messy and it is hard to frame. I usually like to have a clear subject in my photos, but with a lot going on, it's difficult to differentiate what the actual subject is. I tried to lead the viewer's eye into the frame using the bark since there is a lot going on with the leaves and branches.
I’m starting to post again! If you like my work, please consider following me on IG!

Watch the Pedro Pascal movie Prospect. It uses this area as an alien world. Some great scenery chewing moments. Beautiful !

Nice shot.
It is so difficult to convey the beauty of the Hoh in a pic...
As for over use, I grew up on the OP back in the 90s and visited often... I was out there In 5/'18 and back 5/20 it seemed like a herd of elephants had moved in between those visits....
Like grossly trampled off trail evidence everywhere, litter up a thousand percent....
Sad...

Personally I love it. You just save up all of your indoor projects for Winter. During summertime, we have super long sunny days. So that's the trade off.
philipito t1_j8s3pyi wrote
We have two seasons: wet and dry. Looks like you came during the dry season.

The Quinault Rainforest is less traveled, and I personally think it's more beautiful than the Hoh.

Yep. I gave up the beauty for sunshine, Phoenix is great this time of year.

I totally agree! The size of the trees is breathtaking too.

This looks hours away west of Spokane. Spokane is MUCH drier than this.

rain forests vs jungle. you're looking for jungle. Puerto Rico has the only tropical rain forest within the US. It also meets the criteria for being called a jungle
Breadzoner t1_j8s9ovv wrote
Tropical vs. Temperate. The Hoh is a Temparate rainforest.

no idea there were different rain forests dope.

Phoenix is also a literal hell for half the year, ill take the grey.

I can't do the grey, depression was winning

Just like you learn to live inside during the winter up there we live inside during the summer down here. The rest of the time just being in shade with a fan is pretty comfortable
JohnDeere t1_j8snav8 wrote
I lived in Phoenix for years, its not just summer. Half the year is above 90 most years and the water is running out. I can put on a raincoat and go about my day in the north, I cant do that in 115. I applaud anyone who can still handle it but the the idea its really nice in Phoenix 3/4 of the year and only bad in summer has not been true for a loooong time.

We each have our own needs. The grey and cold was slowly killing me. No matter what I did or how many layers I put on I was cold and my body hurt. I will take the heat thank you

Just did a Quinault hammock camp with my buddy last week. It was chilly and drizzly but beautiful as always.

Nope not doing shit indoors in the winter, that makes it worse. I actually try harder to be outdoors during those times

I just got back from the forests of the Tillamook after dropping off the kid at school. I was the only one up there and got stuck around 3 miles in a several times. Got home for a nap before noon. It's not that hard nor does it take much time to do and I never was ant type of outdoors man. Pics from this morning. I'm the only one in that part of the Tillamook, I very rarely see anyone else. That before you know it I'm back at work in the fab. Crazy going from an artificial tech environment of the a fab to the natural forest in just 25 minutes.

The water is running out but they’re building that microchip plant up near 17 & the 101 loop that is supposed to use something like 1 million gallons per day.

Thank you. I agree, it's pretty sad to see that not everyone respects the national parks.

The Quinault Rainforest was also amazing! Did you manage to visit the waterfalls there?
landscapeluke OP t1_j8vij5c wrote
Thank you!
philipito t1_j8vixdv wrote
Which ones? There are waterfalls all throughout the trail. There are some tall waterfalls in Enchanted Valley that are quite a sight.
landscapeluke OP t1_j8vjs7p wrote
The most memorable was called Cascade Falls. I think there's another waterfall with the same name so I got confused when I was looking for it haha. I also visited Merriman Falls and a few others... I need to go through my photos once more
