	Hoh Rain Forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hoh Rain Forest is one of the few temperate rain forests in the world.
		The late fall, winter and spring floods cause the Hoh River to regularly erode its banks, change its course, and deposit fresh terraces of alluvium that are soon colonized by Red Alder.
		The dominant species in the rain forest are Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock; some grow to tremendous size, reaching 95 m (over 300 feet) in height and 7 m (23 feet) in circumference.
