Quinault Rain Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quinault Rain Forest is a temperate rain forest in the U.S. state of Washington in the valley formed by the Quinault River and Lake Quinault. The valley is called the "Valley of the Rain Forest Giants" because of the number of record size tree species located there. The largest specimens of Western Redcedar and Western Hemlock are found in the forest as well as five of the top ten largest Douglas-firs. The forest receives an average of 12 feet of rain per year.
