Olympic National Park, Hoh Rainforest
The Hoh Rainforest is tucked deep within a glacial river valley less than fifty miles from the Pacific Ocean. It sits in the shadow of Mount Olympus, the 7,980-foot peak that gives the park its name, and is a solid half-day drive from bustling Seattle. In addition to the lush biodiversity youd expect from a temperate rainforest, that remote quality makes Hoh one of the quietest places anywhere on earth, almost completely free of any human noise pollution.

Song of Quietness
By Robinson Jeffers - 1887-1961
Drink deep, drink deep of quietness,
And on the margins of the sea
Remember not thine old distress
Nor all the miseries to be.
Calmer than mists, and cold
As they, that fold on fold
Up the dim valley are rolled,
Learn thou to be.
