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.

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 National Park during your visit. First, the removal of
two hydro dams on the Elwha River are part of an historic restoration—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.
General Park Information: NPS.gov/olym
360-565-3130 • Open 9 AM–4 PM daily (except Christmas)
Olympic National Park Visitor Center & Wilderness Information
Center (3002 Mount Angeles Road) in Port Angeles is the Park’s
primary visitor center. It features a number of Park exhibits,
map and book sales, a hands-on Discovery Room for younger
visitors, an award-winning orientation film (run time 25 minutes) shown on request, and a dedicated staff to help you plan a
visit, whether for one day, one week or longer.
Wilderness camping, hiking and permit information and bear
canisters are available. Many ranger stations do not have regular winter hours. Check the Park newspaper, the Bugler, or ONP
website for current activities and seasonal details. If you are
traveling with a pet, please be sure to observe Park policies.
Top Picks
Beach Hikes: From an overlook to a five-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, Lena Lake Trail, 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, Queets, 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.
South Hood Canal: The Staircase entrance offers several short
day hikes that explore the area from flat strolls to trails for hikers,
some gaining over 3,000 ft in elevation. Longer hikes, like the
North Fork Skokomish River trail, can be done in a couple of days.

Cycling in the Olympic National Forest
Woof, Woof, Woof – Welcome!
Dogs are welcome on all Olympic National Forest lands. Leashes are
required within developed recreation sites, such as campgrounds
and day use areas. In all other forest areas please maintain control
over your dog, so that it does not harass wildlife or other visitors in
the area. Also, be sure to clean up after your pet and pack out all
garbage! Enjoy your visit to Olympic National Forest!

Olympic National Forest (ONF) covers over 633,000 acres, nearly
encircling the entire Olympic National Park on the mid elevations.
It offers a wide range of recreation, including hiking, camping,
backpacking, picnicking, boating and other outdoor activities in
a diverse landscape ranging from lush rain forest to deep canyons
to high mountain ridges. There are more than 200 miles of trails,
many of which wander through ancient old growth forests. Most
are located at low elevations and can be enjoyed year round.
FS.usda.gov/activity/olympic/recreation/hiking
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
gathering, but be sure to know the daily limit and other State
guidelines for harvesting these yummy morsels. Seal Rock Campground on Hood Canal is one of the few National Forest campgrounds located on salt water that allows harvesting of oysters for
personal consumption. Be sure to leave the shells on the beach.
FS.usda.gov/main/olympic/passes-permits/forestproducts
ONF operates 17 campgrounds on a first-come, first-served
basis and each has varying overnight fees. There are five designated Wilderness Areas. These do not require wilderness permits,
but a Northwest Forest Pass is required for vehicles parked at many
ONF trailheads. Three historic cabins are available for overnight
lodging – the Hamma Hamma, Interrorem and Louella: these can
be reserved through the National Recreation Reservation System at
Recreation.gov.
Within the ONF some recreation sites require a day use fee.

The largest dam removal project in US history began on the Elwha
River in 2011. Originally scheduled as a two- to three-year project, by summer 2013, both the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams
will be gone. The Elwha River will flow freely from its headwaters
in the Olympic Mountains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca for the
first time in 100 years. With the dams gone, the salmon and other
migratory fish can return to 70 miles of spawning habitat, bringing with them the promise of a restored ecosystem and a renewed
culture. To learn more visit these local places of interest and
check the Park website: NPS.gov/olym. Be sure to check back
often to see the changes that come about as this valley embraces
its history—and its future.

Points of Interest
Lake Quinault Museum: .
QuinaultRainforest.com/pages/museum.html
Explore the Museum and discover the fascinating history of the
Lake Quinault area. Learn about the native Quinaults and the
early pioneers who carved a life out of the beautiful, but remote
wilderness. The Lake Quinault Museum is located on the South
Shore Road of Lake Quinault, adjacent to the Quinault Mercantile and within walking distance of the Lake Quinault Lodge.
Waterfalls: Come when it is raining to experience the very best
views of Willaby Creek Falls, Gatton Creek Falls, Falls Creek in its
splendor, Merriman Falls, Bunch Creek Falls and more… All are
easily accessible from the road or by modest walk.
Lake Quinault boating & fishing: Season opens April 28, 2013
The Quinault Valley is the southwestern gateway to the Olympic
Peninsula and Olympic National Park. Lake Quinault is the majestic centerpiece of the Valley. Easy access to swimming, kayaking,
canoeing, sailing and fishing is available from the many campgrounds and resorts.
From Coast to Forest
Photo: Judy Hanson
Scenic ocean shores, camping, accommodations and easy beach
access are found in the Kalaloch (pronounced clay-lock) area.
Beach Trail 4 leads to a pebble beach with dramatic surf (beware of the strong undertow), tidal pools and is a popular place
to dip for smelt (schools of small fish that spawn in the surf in
warm, calm weather and can be caught with a large net). North
of Kalaloch is picturesque Ruby Beach named for its sometimes
garnet-colored sand.
Also known as the “Valley of the Giants”, the Quinault Valley is
home to the largest Sitka Spruce tree in the world, along with other
nationally recognized record-setting giants. The Valley offers miles
of groomed hiking trails, superior backcountry access, world-class
salmon and steelhead fishing, bird watching and mushroom hunting
all under the enchanting canopy of the rainforest.

Valley of the Rainforest Giants
Photo: Judy Hanson
The climate at Quinault, with 12 feet of rain per year average, is
ideal for growing big evergreen trees. The Quinault Valley has
six champions! World record trees: Sitka Spruce, Western Red
Cedar and Mountain Hemlock. US record: Yellow Cedar and
Western Hemlock. Five of the ten largest Douglas Fir trees grow
here. Because these trees are recognized by the National Forestry
Association as the largest living specimens of their species, the
designation “the Valley of the Rainforest Giants” is appropriate.
Only redwoods and sequoias are larger. Most record trees are
accessible by a modest to moderate hike.
The Quinault Rain Forest Loop Drive
A 31-mile loop road around Lake Quinault parallels the
Quinault River and ventures into Olympic National Park. There
are many easily accessible opportunities for taking photographs, viewing waterfalls and wildlife, and walking. You will
find several of the waterfalls listed on the Olympic Peninsula
Waterfall Trail along the drive. Come when it is raining to
experience the very best views. All are easily accessible from
the road or by modest walk. You’ll also be rewarded with
spectacular views of giant trees and the Quinault River along
the Loop Drive. Keep a keen eye out for Roosevelt elk, Blacktail
deer, cougar, Bald Eagle, bobcat, and black bear. Don’t miss
the magnificent views into the heart of the Olympic Mountains. Allow two hours minimum to complete the trip by car.
Quinault Indian Reservation
Photo: Larry Workman QIN
Members of the Quinault Indian Nation are among the small number
of Americans who can walk the same beaches, paddle the same
waters and hunt the same lands their ancestors did centuries ago.
The Quinault Indian Nation consists of the Quinault and Queets
tribes and descendants of five other coastal tribes: Quileute, Hoh,
Chehalis, Chinook, and Cowlitz. Superb salmon runs, abundant sea
mammals, wildlife, and forests provided substantial material and
spiritual wealth to their ancestors. The Quinault Indians traditionally
used Lake Quinault as summering grounds. Consider a side trip to
Taholah, WA for a first-hand experience.
Self-Guided Hiking Trails
Hiking on the Olympic National Forest recreation trails is an
awesome experience. The rainforest scenery is inspiring. The
trails are well marked and maintained. There are loops of
many lengths. Find the one(s) just right for you. Most of the
trails are of moderate difficulty with minor hills. Many are
suitable for kids and seniors, alike.

So Much To Do!
World-class fishing adventures await as vibrant runs of salmon
and steelhead can be found in the Bogachiel, Hoh, Sol Duc and
Calawah Rivers. Saltwater charters from La Push for salmon and
bottom fish are available, too. 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.
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!
Sol Duc River & Valley
Located west of Lake Crescent in the Olympic National Park, the
Sol Duc Valley holds many secrets ready to be discovered. See old
growth forests, explore Sol Duc Falls and Salmon Cascades or
relax in the hot springs.
The Sol Duc River, with many camping and recreational
opportunities, is abundant with salmon, steelhead and cutthroat
trout. The 78 mile river runs through the valley on its way to the
Quillayute River in La Push. Prepare to cross this river five times
on your way to Forks!

Hoh Rain Forest
The dense rainforest 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.
The word “Hoh” is a Native American term meaning “fast
moving water” and describes the beautiful Hoh River perfectly.
See eagles, elk, otters and other wildlife from the bank or take a
trip down the river via kayak, raft or guided driftboat.

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.

Sekiu is a world-famous recreational fishing destination, complete with all the services you need to catch a really big fish! Other recreational activities include hiking, surfing, kayaking, scuba
diving and the favorite of all… beachcombing! Bird watchers are
rewarded with puffins, marbled murrelets, thousands of coastal
birds, migrating swans, raptors and hundreds of bald eagles that
spend winters on this coast. Gray and humpback whales, orcas
and sea otters are a few of the plentiful marine species.
Coastal Recreation
Sekiu and Clallam Bay are near Lake Ozette in Olympic National
Park where hiking trails lead to miles of unspoiled ocean beaches. A nine-mile triangle hike from Ozette to Cape Alava to Sand
Point passes ancient petroglyphs. To the north, Shi Shi Beach in
Olympic National Park was named the “Best Wilderness Ocean
Beach” in the United States in 2003 by the Travel Channel.

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

of Historic Places. The

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

Remember Adventure? We do!
Hood Canal is the only true saltwater fjord in the lower U.S. Since
long before the first European explorers sailed among the islands
and bays of the Salish Sea, great native tribes fished, hunted and
lived off the abundant wild plants, animals and bounty of the sea.
Its clear deep waters provide world-class shrimp and salmon
fishing, scuba diving, and miles of pristine shoreline for boaters,
kayakers, beachcombers and lovers of nature. For adventure seekers, go skydiving and enjoy the panoramic aerial views.
Immediately west of Hood Canal is Olympic National Park and
Olympic National Forest. There are mountain trails, thrilling vistas,
waterfalls and more in this wilderness paradise. Lake Cushman,
the Mt. Ellinor Trail and the Staircase entrance to Olympic National
Park are just three of the top attractions.
From luxurious lodging, authentic Northwest cuisine, wineries
and wine shops to the simple pleasures of beach combing, sightseeing and rain forest walks, Hood Canal in Mason County has it all.
On the Water
Whether you want to be in the water, on the water, or just near
it, the waterways and estuaries of Hood Canal and South Puget
Sound, glacier-fed rivers like the Skokomish, and more than one
hundred freshwater lakes such as Lake Cushman and Mason Lake
will keep you in aquatic bliss.

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.

The Ingredients

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.

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’s First
Beach 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.
Near Belfair on South Hood Canal, the Theler Wetlands covers
some 75 acres, and an agreement with Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife expands the Trail system to 135 acres, where
guided bird walks are offered monthly. • ThelerCenter.org
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 37–39.
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, including bald
eagles, marbled murrelets, brants, falcons, dippers, widgeons and
many more. Popular viewing areas 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 ex28

A mild climate and small crowds make golfing a year-round activity:
Port Angeles: Semi-private Peninsula Golf Course and Par 3
links course at Salt Creek
Sequim: Cedars at Dungeness (with its famous crab-shaped sand
trap), Sunland Golf & Country Club, and Sky Ridge
Port Townsend public courses: Discovery Bay & PT Golf Course
The Resort At Port Ludlow: Championship course
Union: Alderbrook Golf, rated a top 25 course in the Northwest
Shelton: Salish Cliffs Golf Course
Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and
Hood Canal, the fishing possibilities are endless. Some of the best
river fishing in the world can be found on the 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 and Neah Bay. Many charters sail out of
these harbors. Hood Canal, especially near Quilcene and Brinnon, is famous for its shellfish. Dungeness Harbor is home of the
prized Dungeness crab, celebrated annually during the Dungeness
Crab & Seafood Festival in Port Angeles.
Shelton is the world’s largest shellfish exporter and hosts the
annual OysterFest that includes the West Coast Oyster Shucking
Championships, and is Washington State’s official seafood festival.

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, a species 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.
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.
Hope Island Park, located near Shelton, can be reached only by
boat. 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.
Casinos
Wildlife Viewing
There are four casinos on the Peninsula:
The Elwha River Casino, located about 15 minutes west of
Port Angeles, has over 100 electronic slot machines.
The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe operates Seven Cedars Casino
on Hwy 101 at Blyn, five miles east of Sequim. Be sure to take an
up-close look at the symbolic totem poles on the property.
Little Creek Resort Casino, five minutes south of Shelton, is
owned and operated by the Squaxin Island Tribe, and offers a
newly expanded lodging facility with pool, sauna and on-site spa.
Skokomish Nation offers a more intimate gaming experience
at the Lucky Dog Casino in Hoodsport.
The Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places on the globe to
view diverse wildlife at close proximity. Black-tailed deer inhabit

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.
