Today is a full immersion into the lush, mythical beauty of the Pacific Northwest. You’ll begin the day in Forks, the small logging town made famous by the Twilight saga. With moss-draped trees and overcast skies, it’s easy to see why this became the backdrop for Bella and Edward’s story. Stop by the Forks Visitor Center to snap a photo with Bella’s truck, pick up a Twilight-themed map, and explore the Forever Twilight in Forks Collection—a fascinating exhibit of props, costumes, and memorabilia from the films. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just curious, it’s a lighthearted and nostalgic addition to your adventure.
From there, the magic of nature takes over. Head to the nearby Hoh Rain Forest, where old-growth trees tower above and the air hangs thick with moss and mist. You’ll hike a tranquil trail like the Spruce Nature Trail, letting the quiet beauty of the rainforest sink in. In the afternoon, you’ll transition from green to blue as you explore the raw, wave-battered coastline of Rialto Beach. If tides allow, walk out to Hole-in-the-Wall, where sea stacks rise from the ocean and tidepools brim with life.
As the sun dips toward the horizon, gather on the beach for a relaxed group picnic and a golden-hour photo session. It’s a day full of contrast—mystery and wonder, stories and scenery—and one you’ll never forget.
