I vacationed there a few weeks ago. I would rent a car from Turo - that's what I did and it was awesome. I stayed in the Hoh Valley Cabins in the Hoh Rainforest, and they were lovely. The owner is an extremely nice man whose family has owned the land for about a century. It's in a great central location, as well. It was also extremely affordable. His sister owns the little souvenir shop nearby. They both had so much amazing history to share. I would stay away from Hall of Moss/Spruce Trail. Everyone flocks there and you can definitely tell in the landscape that there is an overabundance of people. That was the only hike I didn't care for. Go for less popular areas. Download the Alltrails app if you haven't - it was absolutely fundamental to my trip. My fave hike was Sam's Loop Trail. We also did the hike to Third Beach - stunning. The Sol Duc Loop is gorgeous and has two waterfalls. We did the Hoh River Trail to Mineral Falls. Also beautiful with several river access points. Went to Lake Crescent - the turquoise water was incredible and the hike to Devil's Punchbowl has some neat historical significance. On our last day, we went up to Anacortes, caught an amazing hour-long ferry ride to the San Juan Islands. We arrived in Friday Harbor to go on an adventure whale watching tour. We went with Western Prince as they have small, fast boats. We saw minke whales, stellar sea lions, harbor seals, and bald eagles. It was very exciting! Forks is a cute little town and has the only grocery shopping between Aberdeen and Port Angeles. Let me know if you have any questions!
