Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park, Washington, has become a destination for fans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. With the rainforest as a backdrop for the wildly popular young adult series of books and now movies, the Hoh seems to be a perfect place to experience this surreal setting.
The schedule for Stephenie Meyer Day 2009, taking place in nearby Forks on Bella’s Birthday weekend, September 12-13, has been announced. Last year, the September 12 edition of the Olympic National Park Newsletter read:
Twilight Comes to the Hoh Rain Forest
Resource Education Ranger Jon Preston reports that, along with coho fry and bugling elk, fans of Twilight, a popular young-adult book, can be seen at the Hoh this week. The Twilight series, by author Stephenie Meyer, is set in Forks and tells the story of a high school (human) girl who falls in love with a handsome vampire. In recent months, the Forks Chamber of Commerce has reported a huge surge in visitation as book fans come to see the "real thing".
Preston reports that over 600 Twilighters converged on the Hoh today, one day before Forks celebrates Stephenie Meyer Day.
Visitors to Hoh Rainforest next weekend should not be surprised to see an inordinate number of young hikers wandering the trails of this "fairly tale" place. They will be searching for the magic of Twilight.
