TOURISM COMMISSION
This is Olympic National Park…
A Primeval Land of Contrast
A million acres of adventure await in this unique three-parksin-one playground. Here you will find 73 miles of pristine, wild
Pacific Ocean beaches; moss-draped rain forest valleys; and
peaceful, wildflower-carpeted alpine meadows at the doorstep of
glacier-capped mountains.
Designated an UNESCO* World Heritage Site and International
Biosphere Reserve, roads enter the Park’s interior from its edge
like spokes on a wheel, leaving 95% of the Park designated as
Olympic Wilderness. This wilderness is home to an astonishing
variety of plants and animals, including the world’s largest unmanaged Roosevelt Elk herd and the elusive Olympic marmot. It also
offers over 600 miles of trails for hiking, climbing and exploring.
The Olympic Peninsula Travel Planner is
produced annually by the Olympic Peninsula

Any season is perfect to explore the Park. In winter, snowshoe
with a Ranger at Hurricane Ridge and during summer, enjoy an
interpretive talk around a campfire. Spring brings melting snow
that revs up the river levels and waterfall volume to roaring. On
a warm summer day, find a shaded spot under a mossy tree or a
cool eddy in a river to dangle your feet. In fall, stroll under the
brilliant gold big leaf maples or scout for migrating birds.
The ocean beaches beckon year round with dramatic surf,
storms, micro-societies in tidal pools and massive whales spouting as they migrate offshore. This is a place where you truly can
snowshoe in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon, or
simply find a secluded spot to enjoy nature at its most protected!

Soak It Up!
Embrace this World Heritage Site by learning about the many
faces of Olympic during your visit. First, two hydro dams on the
Elwha River are coming down and the ecosystem restoration is
historic—be sure to experience it firsthand! Second, all over the
Park in summer months there are evening campfire programs,
interpretive walks in the forest, beach and alpine meadows.
There are displays and guidebooks at the many Park visitor centers along with informative staff. Check the Park’s newsletter, the
Bugler, for the schedule, or visit NPS.gov/olym/parknews.

Top Picks
Beach Hikes: From an overlook to a 5 day trek, and everything
in between, Olympics’ beaches look just like they did when
wooden ships searched for the elusive Northwest Passage! Try
the Ozette Wilderness Loop, Third Beach near LaPush, Beach 4
near Kalaloch, and don’t miss Ruby Beach.
Sol Duc Hot Springs: Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort, featuring
three hot pools, a freshwater swimming pool, food service and
rental cabins is a great place to soak, especially after a hike to
Sol Duc Falls or up to Seven Lakes Basin and the High Divide!
Rain Forests: Among the few temperate rainforests on the
planet…in the spring is seems backlit with green light, the
golden maples blaze in the fall and it’s a treat any time of year.
Hoh, Quinault and Bogachiel valleys.
Alpine Regions: Start at Hurricane Ridge for several ridge-top
strolls with more challenging backcountry hikes to the Hoh,
Quinault and Elwha valleys. The road to Hurricane Ridge is open
seven days a week, weather permitting.

Elwha Valley
When the century-old Elwha and Glines Canyon dams are
removed and the river is flowing free, Pacific salmon and other
migratory fish will return to more than 70 miles of spawning
habitat. Over 100 species of wildlife will benefit from the increase
in salmon, reconnecting vital links between mountains, forests,
river and sea. This landmark deconstruction project comes at a
cost of over $300 million and will take four years to complete,
from replacing water treatment facilities through revegetation efforts. To learn more please visit these local places of interest and
check the park website NPS.gov/olym. Be sure to check back on
your next trip to see the changes that come about as this valley
embraces its history—and its future.

Olympic National Forest covers over 633,000 acres and is made up
of two ranger districts: the Hood Canal and the Pacific. It offers a
wide range of recreation, including hiking, camping, backpacking, picnicking, boating and other outdoor activities. It operates 17
campgrounds that are on a first-come, first-served basis and have
varying overnight fees. There are five designated Wilderness Areas.
These do not require wilderness permits, but a Northwest Forest
Pass is required for all vehicles parked at many ONF trailheads.
Dogs are welcome on Forest Service trails. In all ONF Campgrounds, dogs must be on a leash. Please pick up after your pet.
In addition to usual outdoor activities, ONF has a bounty of
delicacies! Berry picking season usually begins in July and extends
through September. No permit is needed for personal mushroom

Home to the oldest continuous festival in Washington State,
the month of May brings the Sequim Irrigation Festival. For over a
century, this community event has been celebrating the irrigation
ditches that make the arid valley lush and bountiful.
Outdoor Fun
Due to the “rain shadow” effect caused by the Olympic Mountains, Sequim is one of the driest places in Western Washington.
It is the perfect destination for your outdoor adventures. Bring
your bike, kayak, golf clubs, walking shoes and binoculars and
plan to spend some time in the valley.
Local Farms & Lavender
Rich in agricultural heritage, Sequim is known for its organic
farms. In the summer you can pick a variety of berries including raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries or
stop by a local produce stand for the freshest of local fruits and
vegetables. And while you’re here visit our local creamery and be
sure to savor the delicious Dungeness crab, native to the Dungeness area. May through October, visit the Saturday Sequim Open
Aire Market where local growers sell fresh produce and artisans
display their hand-crafted items.
Don’t miss the colorful and fragrant lavender farms. With
over 30 farms in the area it’s no surprised that Sequim is recognized as the Lavender Capital of North America®. The sunny, mild
weather in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley is perfect for lavender
cultivation. This highly fragrant and useful herb blooms in the
summer with farms open for U-pick from July through September.

John Wayne Marina
Join us for America’s largest lavender celebration always held the
third weekend in July. Many lavender farms and gift shops are
open throughout the year.
John Wayne Marina
Featured in the June 2003 issue of SEA Magazine as “Best of the
West” for small marinas, the marina was constructed in 1985 on
22 acres donated by the John Wayne family. John Wayne frequented Sequim Bay waters aboard the family yacht, the “Wild Goose.”
Prior to his death, he envisioned a marina in the scenic bay.
Eventually, this vision became reality under the ownership of the
Port of Port Angeles. Today, the marina features permanent and
guest moorage, excellent marine services, a restaurant, showers,
laundry and banquet facilities, and provides boat launch ramps,
fuel facilities, public beach access and picnic areas.
Sequim Elk Herd
on the National Register
of Historic Places. The
New Dungeness Light
Station Association has
manned the lighthouse
since 1994. Access to the
Light Station is limited
to hikers at low tide and
small boats in calm seas.
Boats and kayaks need to
call ahead for reservations
as water access is limited
to minimize disturbance
to marine mammals and The Lighthouse on the Dungeness Spit
birds. • 360-457-8451
FWS.gov/washingtonmaritime/dungeness
Keep your eyes open for a glimpse of the Sequim elk herd on the
southeastern slopes of town. The herd, comprised of about 70
Roosevelt elk, considers Sequim part of its grazing range. The
herd is just one of the many colorful features that make Sequim a
worthwhile visit.
Dungeness Spit & Lighthouse
At 5.5 miles in length, the Dungeness Spit is the longest naturally
occurring sand spit in North America and home to the Dungeness
National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is a sanctuary for over 250 species of birds, 41 species of land mammals and eight species of water
mammals. Its trails and picnic areas offer breathtaking views of the
beaches, the Dungeness Harbor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If you’re up for a hike or a paddle to the end of the spit,
you’ll find the old Dungeness Lighthouse, built in 1857 and now

The Strait of Juan de Fuca
Scenic Byway: State Highway 112
One of the nation’s National Scenic Byways, it follows the shoreline
of a glacial fjord connecting Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean,
separating the Olympic Peninsula from Vancouver Island, British
Columbia. This dramatic coastline with rugged cliffs and forests
reaches farther into the cold waters of the North Pacific than any
other mainland point in the lower 48 states. Eagles, otters and
gray whales are common sights. The winding coastal route is
beautiful all year, changing with the seasons. Along the way visit
the Joyce General Store and Depot Museum, tide pools and beach
access at Salt Creek Recreation Area, the colorful fishing villages
of Clallam Bay and Sekiu, Lake Ozette and trails in Olympic
National Park, and Neah Bay, on the Makah Indian Reservation.
Joyce
Port Angeles and Port Crescent were boom towns in the late 1800s.
An election in 1890 named Port Angeles as the county seat, thereby
decreasing Port Crescent’s importance. Eventually, the community
moved to present-day Joyce. The Joyce General Store celebrated
its 100th birthday in 2011. The Joyce Depot Museum has displays
from old Port Crescent days. Nearby Salt Creek Recreation Area and
Freshwater Bay are popular camping and recreation sites.

From Coast to Forest
Over 70 miles of protected coastline form the western boundary
of the north Olympic Peninsula. Twenty-five miles south of Forks,
Ruby Beach, Kalaloch and South Beaches beckon, and only 14
miles west, one can be at Rialto Beach or First Beach in La Push,
home of the Quileute Tribe. Great forested trails leading to pristine shores are found at Second and Third Beaches near La Push.
The dense rain forest valley of the glacier-fed Hoh River is a
must see. These forests thrive sustained by 12 to 16 feet of rainfall
a year, not including the 30 inches of tree drip from fog condensing in the canopy! The browsing herds of Roosevelt elk feed on
the thick understory and keep it from obscuring the view. The
Hoh Visitor Center is the starting point for several walks under
two miles, as well as longer and more challenging hikes to the
glaciers and alpine meadows of Olympic National Park’s interior.
La Push
Home of the Quileute People for thousands of years, this village at
the mouth of the Quillayute River offers a marina and services for
visitors including beachfront resort and RV park. The mile-wide
First Beach is a popular surfing spot and a favorite place for gray
whales to pause and feed on their northward migration. Best
viewing is in the morning from mid-February through late May.

World-class fishing adventures await as vibrant runs of salmon
and steelhead in the Bogachiel, Hoh, Sol Duc and Calawah Rivers. Saltwater charters from La Push for salmon and bottom fish
are available from May to September. Local guides, restaurants
and inns cater to those fishing, making pre-dawn breakfasts
and packing lunches to enjoy on the river. A surprising number
of restaurants, gift shops, cabins, inns and other lodgings can
be found in Forks, many with secluded acreages on riverbanks
or calm pastures. Timber harvest plays an important role in the
community, augmented in the new millennium by technology. Be
sure to visit the Forks Timber Museum at the south end of town.
Savor the relaxed atmosphere of this town where folks still
chat in grocery lines and stop for pedestrians. Bring a lightweight
hooded jacket, comfortable shoes and a smile…though this town
gets 10 or 12 feet of rain a year, no one carries an umbrella!

Olympic Coast Cuisine
Restaurants feature what’s fresh and local
Start with the freshest local ingredients! Beneath the shores
of our puzzle-like shorelines are shellfish beds where oysters,
shrimp, goeduck, clams and all manner of delicacies thrive. Our
glacier-turned soils are great for growing, and our climate is
mild year round, with many farmers using their fields through
the winter. Beef and milk cows, apiaries, lavender farms, berries,
tree fruits and even hops are grown on the Peninsula. Local
bakeries grind local grains, dairy farms supply the creameries,
and we all get to reap the benefits!
The Preparation
Culinary lavender
Inspired local chefs offer dishes and cooking methods that
make “Olympic Coast Cuisine” meals memorable experiences.
Many of our restaurateurs believe that supporting local growers
provides the most delicious cuisine, reduces carbon emissions
from trucking products over long distances and vitalizes the
local economy. It is not surprising to find local chefs teamed up
with local farmers for menu planning, offering the best possible
experience for the culinary traveler.
Farmers’ Markets
Enjoy the local bounty at the
seasonal Farmers’ Markets. It’s
a weekly celebration with live
music, and colorful stands of
fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers
and other local wares.

The Ingredients
Photo: Courtesy of OlympicAquaFarms.com
Cuisine is an art form that engages all the human senses. Foods prepared with
fresh, local ingredients impart a sense of a place and its culture. Resplendent with fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables, as well as coastal
seafood, handcrafted wines and other local foods, the Olympic Peninsula
has much to offer the culinary tourist. Farmers, restaurants and hotels have
endorsed an “eat local” movement and we are proud of our longstanding
agricultural heritage.
Fine Wines, Artisan Ciders & Local Brews
Local vintners craft their wines on site from the best grapes of
Eastern Washington. Cideries are reviving the traditions of hard
ciders. Brewers are growing their own hops and grains. Each
crafter’s personal approach brings out unique characteristics in
their beverage, which can pair nicely with a range of Olympic Coast
Cuisine. Local wine, cider, and beer tasting rooms welcome you!

A Whole New Slice of Life (edited)
My wife Treena and I have completed the equivalent of 28 loops
around the world over the past 52 years. You need to know
this piece of relatively useless trivia to fully understand the
enormity of my next statement. Only once have we ever had
such an eye-opening experience as we are currently having on
the Olympic Peninsula, and that was in Reggio Emilia in central
Italy in 1966. The present day peninsula is a whole new slice of
life in the making…
In the past four days we have begun to understand our
immediate and long term future food in the Pacific Northwest.
We have listened to people who come from families that have
invested their lives for over five generations in food production.
You can call them organic or sustainable, both are often true,
but Marco Pinchot III, the great grandson of a famous forester,
calls the movement that is most needed: resilience.
We really don’t need more of the same, even if it is done a
little better… Today’s oyster is now the DEW line (distance early
warning radar defense during the cold war) for us as humans.
The Ph of our coastal waters is changing, as it gets more acid,
due to our collective run off, the oyster and other shellfish and
some fish will cease to exist. Eventually we will follow.
But we are resilient people and always have been, and
this is why Treena and I are having the time of our lives on this
trip. At every single stop…., we have met world changers on
their way to making the Olympic Peninsula one of the world’s
most important culinary destinations. This is a vibrant test bed
for collaboration between growers and fishermen and chefs
and ecologists, with a small but increasingly knowledgeable
customer base.
…Taste the difference that passion makes and listen carefully to the folks who have valued this fabulous slice of our great
nation for over 100 years. They are not going away and you’ll
find it hard to do so after only a few delicious days in this beautiful, restful countryside. We have, by the way, booked to return
before the year is out. This is just too good to miss.

Water Adventures
Kayaking/Canoeing/SUP/River Rafting/Surfing: Olympic
Peninsula has many lakes, rivers and shorelines that offer fresh
and saltwater opportunities for water adventures. La Push and
Neah Bay’s Hobuck Beach are popular spots for surfing. Stand
Up Paddling (SUP) is being embraced on Lake Crescent and the
sandy beaches of Crescent Bay and Salt Creek Recreation Area.
Kayakers will find Hood Canal’s shores ideal for endless exploring, as are the inland waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca from
Port Townsend to Neah Bay. Freshwater Bay, west of Port Angeles,
and protected Dungeness Bay, north of Sequim, are both favorite places for water activity and observing a variety of birds and
sea life. Sequim Bay, Port Angeles Harbor and Clallam Bay are
all favorites of small craft enthusiasts, as are area lakes. Rivers,
including the Hoh, Quillayute, Sol Duc and Elwha, are popular for
rafting and kayaking.
Diving: Surrounded on three sides by water, the Olympic
Peninsula has some of the best diving on the West Coast. For
freshwater diving, try Lake Crescent and Lake Ozette. There are
many locations around the coast of the Peninsula that offer diving
and marine services. Some of the area’s waters, such as the open
coastal waters of the National Marine Sanctuary, are suitable only
for advanced divers.
Kayak on Lake Crescent
Protection Island at the head of Discovery Bay provides nesting
habitat to 70% of Puget Sound’s seabird population. Bald eagles,
harbor seals and deer from the mainland also feed and breed
here. Though no access to the island is permitted, several companies offer boat tours for viewing of this 364-acre site.
RV’ing & Camping
The RV experience is well supported by an abundance of RV parks
and campgrounds catering to RVs. Olympic National Park has 17
developed campgrounds within its boundaries and nearly 100
wilderness camps. Numerous private campgrounds can be found
throughout the region with different levels of amenities. Most are
open year round. For a guide to RV parks, see pages 33–35.
With state, county, city and private campgrounds, not to mention Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, visitors
can take their pick of a variety of camping experiences ranging
from extremely primitive to amenity-laden.
Birding
Bird enthusiasts come to the Olympic Peninsula from around the
world to study the more than 200 species of birds that inhabit the
region. These include bald eagles, marbled murrelets, brants,
falcons, Stellar jays, dippers, thrushes, widgeons and many more.
Popular viewing areas for birds include Cape Flattery, Neah Bay
and Hwy 112, the Port Angeles Waterfront and Ediz Hook, the upper waters of Dungeness and Gray Wolf Rivers in Olympic National
Forest, Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge, Marrowstone
Island east of Port Townsend and Dungeness Spit. At the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park there is an
8:30am, year-round, Wednesday morning bird walk. Visit
DungenessRiverCenter.org for more information.
Hiker’s Paradise
Trails vary widely, from strolling on nature trails to climbing
rock faces in the high mountains. The Peninsula has over 900
miles of trails, many that can be enjoyed year round. As you explore the trails and visit the scenic backcountry and wilderness,
please be considerate and leave no trace of your passing. Hikers
with dogs might want to consider Forest Service trails as fourlegged friends can find off-leash freedom.

A mild climate and low crowds make golfing a year-round activity
here. The Resort At Port Ludlow has a championship course, with
two more public courses in nearby Port Townsend, Discovery Bay
Golf Course and Port Townsend Golf Course. In Sequim, you’ll find
the Cedars at Dungeness with its famous Dungeness crab-shaped
sand trap, Sunland Golf & Country Club and Sky Ridge Golf Course.
The semi-private Peninsula Golf Course in Port Angeles and the par
3 links course at Salt Creek Golf Course offer two other choices.
With the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Strait of Juan de Fuca on
the north and Hood Canal on the east, the fishing possibilities are
endless. Some of the best river fishing in the world can be found
on the Elwha, Bogachiel, Hoh and Sol Duc Rivers. While regulations vary on lake fishing, good lake fishing can be found across
the peninsula.
Clallam Bay and Sekiu have been an ocean fishing mecca for
decades, as are La Push on the Pacific Ocean and Neah Bay at the
Peninsula’s northwestern tip. Many charters sail out of these bays
and harbors. Hood Canal, especially near Quilcene and Brinnon,
is famous for its shellfish. Dungeness Harbor is the home of the
prized Dungeness crab, celebrated annually during the Dungeness
Crab and Seafood Festival in Port Angeles.

Fishing & Foraging
Waterways of the newly designated Salish Sea are a mariner’s
dream. The Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north is a challenging and
exhilarating sailing experience. Marinas for ocean fishing include
world-renowned Sekiu, Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and La Push for
spectacular catches. Along the Strait, Port Angeles Harbor and Sequim Bay offer protection for small craft and moorage. The Hood
Canal is a glacial fjord with many secluded coves and beaches.
The Quilcene Boat Haven and two Pleasant Harbor marinas can
be found on Hood Canal. Several other marinas offer public
moorage in Port Townsend, Port Hadlock and Port Ludlow.
Oil City Beach
the hills and lowlands and are frequently seen throughout the
region. Likewise, eagles and raptors such as falcons and hawks
populate many areas on the Peninsula. In the fall, spawning season
brings different species of salmon into the rivers and streams. In
Olympic National Park, mountain goats live in the higher altitudes,
while Roosevelt elk roam in the lower areas and move in and out
of the Park boundaries. You may also see an elusive marmot or a
fisher that was re-introduced into the Park in 2008. The Olympic
National Park Visitor Center has information on indigenous species, and safety information about the animals you don’t want to
see up close, such as black bear, bobcats and cougar.
Wildlife Viewing
The Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places on the globe to
view diverse wildlife at close proximity. Black-tailed deer inhabit

Casinos
There are two casinos on the Peninsula. The Jamestown S’Klallam
Tribe operates Seven Cedars Casino on Hwy 101 at Blyn, five miles
east of Sequim. Enjoy table games and slots, as well as several
dining options and a variety of live entertainment. The Cedar
Boughs Art Gallery has gifts representative of the Northwest Coast.
Be sure to take an up-close look at the symbolic totem poles on
the property.
The Elwha River Casino, located about 15 minutes west of
Port Angeles, has over 100 electronic slot machines. The full-service River’s Edge Deli offers salads, burgers, soups, sandwiches
and homemade baked goods.

Cycling
Olympic Discovery Trail: A trail system that will eventually
Vintage, classic, Harley or Honda, whatever your vehicle, the
Olympic Peninsula is an exhilarating ride! US Hwy 101, primarily
two lanes with very little four-lane or divided highway, encircles
the Peninsula. A dozen great routes spoke off Hwy 101, into Olympic National Park and to the reaches of the Peninsula.
Here are a few favorites:
•Skirt along the Hood Canal, a 61-mile, glacier-carved fjord. Enjoy
the tidal areas, waterfront hiking trails and parks. Don’t miss the
rhododendron gardens in Brinnon and the scenic lookout atop Mt.
Walker. Enjoy some fresh oyster stew or a bucket of clams at one of
the many eateries along the way.
•Strait of Juan de Fuca State Route 112. This National Scenic Byway
winds over 60 miles from Hwy 101 to Neah Bay and beyond to Cape
Flattery, the northwesternmost point in the contiguous US. This
250-curve fun-to-drive route passes shores, quaint communities
with lots of parks, and has pull-outs to stop and enjoy the views or
stretch the legs. Watch for whales dining in the kelp reefs offshore,
the bald eagles, heron and osprey, and rafts of otters.
Other top picks:
•Hwy 20 and Hwy 101 around Port Townsend to Discovery Bay and
Fort Flagler State Park with many music events and WWI history.
•Old Olympic Highway near Sequim – U-Pick fruits and lavender
farms dot the way.
•Side trips into Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc Hot
Springs and the Hoh Rain Forest.
connect Port Townsend to LaPush uses railroad right-ofway, public roads and trails. The trail is growing as sections
are completed and are suitable for all non-motorized traffic,
including equestrians in most places. The Olympic Bike
Adventure, with options for 10, 25 and 60 miles takes place on
the trail in September, OlympicBikeAdventure.com.
For details on the trail, including maps and photos, visit
OlympicDiscoveryTrail.com. The new Adventure Route
Segment features 25 miles of groomed, single- and double-track
trails between Hwy 101 west of Port Angeles and the north shore of
Lake Crescent at Piedmont. Download detailed map at the website.
In addition to the Discovery Trail, cyclists will find all kinds
of terrain, from rugged mountain biking to relaxing family rides.
Choose a country road along inlets and bays or a coast trip down
a Forest Service road. Look for the Foothills Trail south of Port
Angeles, the Mount Mueller Trail west of Lake Crescent, and the
Spruce Railroad trail on the north shore of Lake Crescent.
Ride the Hurricane: This is a unique event that allows cyclists

Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, will be held August 5.
Hurricane Ridge Road is considered one of the premier cycling
uphill rides in the country and offers spectacular views. Consult

A delightful way to explore
the Olympic Peninsula, the
Waterfall Trail offers yearround adventure and dramatic Rocky Brook Falls
beauty. From the cliffs of Cape
Flattery, to the glacial fjord of the Hood Canal to the Enchanted Valley
of the Quinault Rainforest, waterfalls of all sizes and shapes abound!
Sol Duc Falls
Some are found by easy walks on forest trails, others reached via
paved, wheelchair-accessible paths, still more await discovery in the backcountry of Olympic National
Park. Two of the falls can only be reached by boat.
Start your adventure at OlympicPeninsulaWaterfallTrail.com, where detailed descriptions,
maps, photos and tips will inspire you to set your cap for exploration. See them in the fall when the
leaves are brilliant and the salmon hurry upstream, in the winter when rain swells the volume or in the
spring when new greens add magic to the majesty.
