where are the rainforests in Oregon

I think Ecola SP is more rain forest looking than the Hoh rain forest. We hiked both in the last 3 weeks.

If you're looking for examples of nice stands of trees and don't mind hiking, I highly recommend Opal Creek. I'm not sure if it's technically considered a rain forest. You wouldn't want to drive a RV up there.

Closest my ventures got to that area of the US was on the Montana side in the Flathead Natl Forest areas working as DOD Contractors on Air Force Radar sites at Fortuna way back then... We walked across the Canada border just to say we have been to Canada haha.. One side of the sign said Canada and the other side said United States.... Other than that no body around hehe... Drove to Flathead Natl Forest one weekend... Not many cross roads up that way - They all seem to run out and you have to go South again and pick up a new road going West. As I recall alot of those East-West roads didn't even have numbers haha... Wanted to visit CUT BANK AF Radar Site while we were in the area...

You meant the Redwoods......correct??

Washington Olympic Peninsula rainforest: look at a map and drive/hike up any of the rivers coming from the interior and you're in the rainforest. The Hoh, Sol Duc, Elwha, Dungeness, Bogachiel, Queets, Quinault. In the North Cascades as well these river: the Nooksack, Skagit, Sauk, Stillaguamish. Lots and lots of rain back in those hills and the water sheds for many of the cities in NW Washington. Nothing like this in the Oregon mountains.

Let's see - OP asked about Oregon I believe - why all the answers in WA and CA?

I agree with 2gypsies. We have been on the northern 101 and moving south for over a month once again. I LOVE the forests in Ecola State Park and other places as well......the moss on the trees, the ferns,etc.

Rain forest in Oregon? Anywhere along Hwy 101 during the rainy season.

in Washington? Olympic National Park on far western side

At least he didn't say Hood's Canal. !

I saw a pretty good local climate at Silver Falls east of Salem. But not a rain forest, or jungle....
