 About
an hour from the ocean, we entered the Hoh. Because the climate is not
freezing in the winter, the conifers are able to grow year around. They
are very tall and hundreds of years old. |
 Some
of these species live past 500 years (Douglas Fir) and others over 1000
years (Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar). The Western Hemlock lives the
shortest life span of 300 years. |
