Olympic National Park
Washington
An unforgettable adventure awaits at Olympic National Park — where moss-laden rainforests are draped with lichen, giant conifers tower 200–250 feet into the sky, and crystal-clear rivers cut through rugged terrain. Hike beneath ancient trees that feel older than time itself, cross paths with Roosevelt elk or black-tailed deer, and take in sweeping panoramas from jagged ridges to wild ocean shores.
Don’t miss Marymere Falls, a short 1.7-mile trail that leads to a 90-foot ribbon of liquid beauty. If you are looking for something more strenuous - The Storm King trail is 4 miles RT all elevation gains and the last section you’ll need gloves for the fixed ropes but rewarded with stunning viewpoint overlooking Lake Crescent! Along the coast, explore Ruby Beach and Kalaloch, with their cobblestone shores, driftwood, sea stacks, and rocky knobs rising out of the Pacific.
When it comes to staying the night, Olympic has you covered:
Camping: Kalaloch Campground (right on the beach), Hoh campground (Rainforest) or forest-shaded Heart O’ the Hills near Hurricane Ridge.
