8 of the Quietest Places on Earth (Slideshow)

  • 4 of 9

 

3. The Hoh Valley, Washington

Washington’s Olympic Peninsula is home to some of the most undeveloped national park land in the United States. The picturesque beauty of this virgin temperate rain forest, the largest of its kind in North America, is also considered to be the quietest place in the United States. Is it any wonder, then, that it is also one of the largest areas in the continental United States without roads?!

Thank you Katie for a glimpse of these most wonderous places that remain untouched. I would like to see the Hoh Valley in Washington State., but without any roads it would not be possible. It reminds me very much of the Great Bear Rain Forest of Southern British Columbia. There are also no roads, but there are many rivers, channels, streams and fjords. The growth is as lush, tropical, and velvety.
