Nestled among towering conifers on the south shore of Lake Quinault, this resort community is a popular stop for visitors to Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest. The area's mild, humid climate supports a lush temperate rain forest; six conifer specimens in the “Valley of the Rain Forest Giants” are recognized as champions by the National Register of Big Trees. A .3-mile walking trail branching off South Shore Road at the east edge of town leads to the world's largest Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis); this 191-foot-tall monarch measures nearly 59 feet in circumference and is estimated to be around 1,000 years old.
