Olympic National Park

Three ecosystems in one park: glacier-capped mountains, temperate rainforests dripping with moss, and wild, rugged Pacific coastlines packed with sea stacks.


DON’T MISS

  • Hoh Rain Forest: Hall of Mosses trail under moss-draped ancient giant trees.

  • Hurricane Ridge: High alpine ridge views accessible by paved road.

  • Rialto & Ruby Beach: Giant drift logs, sea stacks, and tide pools.

  • Sol Duc Falls: Lush green canyon waterfall hike.

TRAIL NOTES

  • Hoh Rain Forest entrance lines can reach 2+ hours on summer weekends; arrive before 8:30 AM.

  • Always check coastal tide tables before hiking ocean beaches to avoid being trapped by rising tides.

  • Consider taking the Bainbridge or Edmonds ferry on the way out to skip Tacoma traffic.

  • Rain gear is mandatory even in mid-summer.
