We discovered these excellent trails near the Lake Quinault Lodge. There is a series of connecting loops which travel through rainforest, some of which is old growth and other bits which have had some minor cutting.
There are creeks, ferns and lots of huge trees to admire. The trails are in excellent shape and the bridges sturdy and in good repair. It is a great place to take children and/or beginner hikers since you don't have to make a great commitment of time or distance. If you're in the area, make the effort to visit this trail system known as the Quinault National Scenic Trail System. Maps are available at the local ranger station.
The trees were magnificent and tall, bigger than most I've seen anywhere in the Olympics or Cascades.
