Forks is one of the places Roamward flags on the Olympic Peninsula Loop (US 101) because it gives the drive its texture: the logging-town gateway in the heart of the peninsula. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.

How it fits the drive

The Olympic Peninsula Loop runs Port Angeles loop, WA. Rainforest, peaks, and wild coast in one circle.
