	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.
		Many native fauna also make the Hoh Rain forest their home, including the Pacific tree frog, Northern Spotted Owl, Bobcat, Cougar, Raccoon, Black bear, Roosevelt elk, and Columbia fl-tailed deer.

		The Hoh Rainforest is one of the world's few temperate rainforests and is also the largest.
		The Hoh rainforest is noted for its extensive growths of moss.
		Although some deciduous trees are to be found in the rainforest, the ecosystem is dominated by old-growth conifer trees and low undergrowth, with very little mid-range canopy.
