At the heart of the Olympic Peninsula, travelers can drop by and spend a few days in the city of Forks, Washington. The city is bounded by the Olympic Mountains, the Hoh River Rain Forest, and the beaches that lead to the Pacific Ocean. Commerce-wise, Forks is a major hub. Tourism-wise, it can provide diverse experience for people who are on family vacations. The recommended first step in planning Forks vacations is to visit the city’s Chamber of Commerce. From the official website, would-be visitors will find that there are world-class attractions in Forks. To visit all these, the family might find it convenient to take the Five-Day Trips that are organized by the Chamber of Commerce. Here is a preview. Day One of the trip will take the family to the Hoh Rain Forest and the Kalaloch Beaches where there are loop trails, forests of red alder and cottonwood, and moss-draped maples. Day Two is a visit to the Forks Timber Museum, which has a real fire lookout tower and a 9-foot stove for cooking. Day Three is an expedition in the Northwest Coast where the family can watch for whales at the Cape Flattery. Day Four involves the Ozette Wilderness Hike that will end in Cape Alava, which is near the partially buried ancient Makah village. And Day Five is having fun at the Lake Crescent, the Marymere Falls, Madison Falls, and the Sol Duc hot springs. The travelers should bring extra clothes.
