Would you like to learn a little more about wood? Of course you would – so it’s off to the Forks Timber Museum, at the south end of the town (10 minutes’ drive) for a look at how local history ties in with the timber industry and to see exhibits about loggers of the past and their tools of the trade. Fun fact – the museum was built by the clever carpentry class of Forks High School in 1989. Vampire hunters will note that the majority of the Twilight films weren’t actually shot in Forks, but tours can be taken of the locations described in Meyer’s original books – both in town and out in the surrounds. Those same scenic surrounds make a fine place for a hike, a bike ride or a horseback adventure. It’s the rivers that are the big draw, though – there’s top-notch winter steelhead fishing in the Sol Duc, Hoh, Bogachiel and Calawah rivers, and king salmon can be hooked nearby too. Fishing gear can be picked up locally, and guides are available for hatchery runs and float trips.
