Quinault Rainforest, Temperate rainforest in Olympic Peninsula, Washington, US.
The Quinault Rainforest contains numerous record-size specimens of Western Red Cedar, Sitka Spruce, and Douglas Fir within its dense canopy.
The Quinault Valley formed through glacial movement, creating a natural corridor that extends from the Olympic Mountains to Lake Quinault.
The Quinault Indian Nation maintains traditional connections to this forest, using its natural resources according to long-established practices.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the forest, with camping facilities available near the shores of Lake Quinault.
The forest receives 17 feet of annual rainfall, supporting the highest concentration of champion-size trees in any comparable area worldwide.
