Choices, choices. Heading up or down the Olympic Peninsula, you have to
chose between DH43 Hoh-Clearwater Rd and this better Paved and Engineered
option. What you gain in P & E, however, you give up in Remoteness. As soon as
you begin to feel away from it all on this section of Hwy 101, a house, B&B or
hostel appears. Twistiness lets you have the best of both worlds, since this
DH’s best curves are in the heavily clearcut section north of Hoh-Clearwater
Rd’s northern junction. Problem is, if you go with the Hoh, you’ll miss what
really makes Forks - Kalaloch special — the bottom 10.0 mi (16.0 km) when the
road crosses the boundary of the Olympic National Park and heads out along the
coast. Although this southern section has a lot of straights, communing in the
world’s only Douglas Fir rainforest with the Pacific air filling your soul is
a motorcycling experience you’ll never forget. Which to choose? Follow Yogi
Berra’s advice: when you come to a fork in the road, take it.
