Hoh Rainforest Road reopens Thursday after months of repairs
Following months of waiting for emergency repairs, the access road to the Hoh Rainforest will reopen this week.
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK, Wash. - Following months of waiting for emergency repairs, the access road to the Hoh Rainforest will reopen this week.
On Thursday, May 8, Hoh Rain Forest Road will formally reopen, according to Governor Bob Ferguson. He previously pledged $650,000 to fix the park artery.
The backstory:
The roadway was washed out by the bomb cyclone in late 2024. Local residents at one point became concerned at the speed of repair work and funding, raising $27,000 to expedite three process ahead of the important summer revenue months.
What's next:
The road will reopen at noon on Thursday, officially resuming the main access point to the world-famous destination at the west side of Olympic National Park.
