The Hall of Mosses is a famous hiking trail in Olympic National Park. It is located in the Hoh Rain Forest on the Olympic Peninsula in the west of Washington state, USA. It is a 0.8 mile loop trail with 100ft elevation gain.

The Hall of Mosses is filled with old temperate trees covered in green and brown mosses. The mosses usually do not damage the trees. However, the trees fall by the winds in storms because of their shorter roots due to the abundance of nutrients and water in the forest. Many trees and mosses grow over the fallen tree trunks.
