The Olympic National Park stretches down coastal Washington and east toward Seattle on a thumb of land known as the Olympic Peninsula, some 60 miles long by 90 miles wide. Around a 3-hour drive from Seattle, it feels much farther, as if you have passed into an otherworldly realm. Within it are volcanic beaches scattered with the remains of massive Sitka spruces, evergreen-crowded mountains, broad, flat valleys and the Hoh Rain Forest, through which 12 miles of hiking trails and the glacier-formed Hoh River run. The park, in total nearly a million acres, is home to what may be the most complex ecosystem in the United States. The writer Meghan O’Rourke searched for the rare peace that true silence can offer in the wilderness of #HohRainForest. “Why do we mistake silence for peace?” she asks in @tmagazine. “Silence is peaceful because it reduces stimulation. And silent places tend to be slower places. As I sat by the river in the rain forest, in rushed all the thoughts that noise had blotted out, and held at bay.” She continued: “But if silence is so peaceful, I wondered, why do many of us choose to live in busy, noisy cities?” @mitch_epstein took this picture of moss-covered Sitka spruces in the @olympicnationalpark.
