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!

The City of Sequim (pop. 5,000+) is small-town America. It has
many unique gift shops, murals, antique stores, galleries and fine
restaurants. The sun shines in Sequim more than anywhere else
in Western Washington. The “rain shadow” effect, caused by the
Olympic Mountains, shelters the valley from excessive rain.
May brings the oldest continuous festival in Washington
State, the Sequim Irrigation Festival. This community event celebrates the irrigation ditches that made the arid valley lush and
bountiful. Visit the Sequim Open Aire Market on Saturdays,
May through October, where local growers sell fresh produce and
artisans display their hand-crafted items.
Outdoor Fun
Bring your bike, kayak, golf clubs, walking shoes and binoculars,
and plan to spend some time in this valley. You can pick raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and savor the delicious Dungeness crab, native to the Dungeness area.
Local Lavender
Visit the many colorful lavender farms in the Sequim Valley.
Sequim has quickly become the Lavender Capital of North
America ™ with over 40 farms. Lavender is one of the most
fragrant and useful herbs known to mankind. The Sequim
Dungeness Valley has weather conditions perfect for lavender
cultivation. The U-Pick season typically lasts from July through
September. Make plans early to attend America’s largest lavender
festival, held the third weekend of July in Sequim.

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
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 birds. • 360-457-8451

One of the nation’s newest 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, the colorful fishing villages of Clallam Bay
and Sekiu, the historic Merrill & Ring Tree Farm at Pysht, and Neah
Bay, the principal town of 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 is set to
celebrate 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.
Sample the stress-free, laid-back lifestyle of the Northwest Coast
in Clallam Bay and Sekiu! This corner of the Peninsula is known
for its rugged, pristine coastline and abundant marine life.
Separated by two miles of beach, Clallam Bay and Sekiu look
across the water to Vancouver Island, B.C. Once here, you’ll find
everything you could possibly need, including nice lodgings and
campgrounds, good restaurants, grocery stores, gas/propane,
internet and espresso!

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.
To the west, follow Hwy 112 to Neah Bay and the Makah Indian
Reservation where you will find a world-class cultural museum
and the best smoked salmon ever! West of Neah Bay at the tip of
the Olympic Peninsula lies Cape Flattery, the most northwestern
point in the contiguous US. Located on the Makah Indian Reservation, a cedar plank boardwalk takes you on a moderate hike
to views of the Tatoosh Island lighthouse, the Pacific Ocean and
the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Tatoosh Island is a sacred place for
the Makah. Other sights include sea caves, eagles, cormorants,
sea otters, octopi and falcons. In summer, Makah interpreters
on the trail share the history and culture of the area as well as
traditional uses of native plants. There is no fee to hike the trail,
but you will need to purchase a Recreation Permit when you enter
the Reservation.

opportunities. Within an hour of Forks, one can be strolling a
rain forest trail, kayaking a tidal estuary, surfing a wilderness
beach, soaking in natural hot spring waters or canoeing a clear
blue glacier-carved lake.
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 March.

Cuisine is an art form that engages all of the human senses. Foods that are
well-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 successfully endorsed an “eat local” movement and we are proud
of our longstanding agricultural heritage.
The Ingredients
Sunny Farms in Carlsborg offers local produce
Peninsula farms such as Nash’s Organic Produce, supply local
restaurants, grocery stores and farmers’ markets with fresh raw
ingredients. As the region’s largest certified organic grower,
Nash’s produces more than 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables
that are sold at the farm store and at local outlets. Grains grown
on the farm are used in breads sold at area bakeries.
Other local producers include Dry Creek Farm, a certifiedorganic provider of farm fresh eggs and poultry; the Elwha
Apiary, providing a variety of honey-based products; and the
Dungeness Valley Creamery, a family farm providing raw milk
and cream from their own herd of Jersey cows. Their milk, in
turn, is used by Mount Townsend Creamery in Port Townsend to
create delicious artisan cheeses.
Lavender is another of the region’s signature culinary attractions. The Peninsula town of Sequim is the official Lavender
Capital of North America ™. Home to 13 lavender farms, most
have wonderful gift shops open during the June to August season
or year round. You’ll find a wide range of lavender products, from
seasonings and baked goods to bath products and decor. The
Sequim Lavender Festival, held the third week every July, draws
visitors from around the world. • www.lavendergrowers.org

Salmon, steelhead, trout, oysters, mussels, razor clams and the
famous geoduck clams are a few examples of fresh-from-the-sea
Olympic Coast Cuisine. While visitors will find a realm of local
seafood on Peninsula restaurant menus, outdoor adventurers
may prefer to reel in their own catch! Several Olympic Peninsula rivers, including the Sol Duc, Hoh, Bogachiel, Calawah and
Quileute, offer world-class salmon and steelhead fishing. The
Peninsula is also home to some of the best clamming beaches in
the state. Check seasonal regulations before heading out.
For the culinary explorer, visit: www.OlympicCulinaryLoop.com
Elegant cuisine prepared with local organics
The Local Vintage
Many Peninsula restaurants feature wines produced at the
region’s seven boutique wineries. Grapes from some of Eastern
Washington’s most esteemed vineyards are crushed, fermented,
aged and bottled on site. Each winemaker’s personal style brings
out unique characteristics in his or her wines, which pair nicely
with Olympic coastal cuisine.
A 2007 climate and landscape study found the North Olympic
Peninsula soil and climate characteristics suitable for growing
cool-weather grape varieties. Some wineries are already producing wines with locally-grown grapes and a number of viticulturists have expressed strong interest in cultivating more vineyard
plantings in our area.
Wine touring is a culinary experience in and of itself. The
Peninsula wineries warmly welcome visitors to their tasting
rooms—the winemaker can often be found behind the bar pouring wine and answering questions. For more information visit
www.olympicpeninsulawineries.org.
Local lavender farms welcome visitors

Peninsula chefs start with the freshest local ingredients and
strive through meticulous preparation to offer diners a culinary
experience that is quintessentially “Northwest.” Many of our
restauranteurs believe that supporting local growers provides the
most delicious cuisine, reduces carbon emissions from trucking
products over long distances and vitalizes the local economy.
The Alderwood Bistro in Sequim staunchly supports the
“eat local” movement, as do Bella Italia, Joy’s Wine Bistro, Toga’s
Soup House, Michael’s Steak & Seafood and The Tudor Inn Bed
& Breakfast in Port Angeles; Port Townsend’s Silverwater Café
and T’s Restaurant; Cedar Creek Cuisine in Sequim; and Timber
House Restaurant & Lounge in Quilcene, to name a few.
The Preparation
Celebration
Several festivals throughout the year celebrate the Peninsula’s
culinary abundance and visitors are encouraged to join in the
fun. These include the Olympic Peninsula Wineries’ Red Wine
& Chocolate Tour in February; the Lavender Festival in July; the
Jefferson and Clallam County Farm Tours in September and
October, respectively; the Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival in
October; A Taste of the Peninsula in November; and the Lavender
Holiday Bazaar, also in November. See Events on pages 20 to 21
for more information.

Water Adventures
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.
Kayaking/River Rafting/Canoeing: The entire North Olympic
Peninsula has many lakes, rivers and shorelines that offer fresh
and saltwater opportunities for kayaking, river rafting, drift
boating and canoeing. Hood Canal’s shores are ideal for endless
exploring by small craft, as are the inland waters of the Strait of
Juan de Fuca from Port Townsend to Neah Bay. Dungeness Harbor
north of Sequim is a protected bay where a variety of wildlife may
be observed. Sequim Bay, Port Angeles Harbor and Clallam Bay
are all favorites of small craft enthusiasts, as are area lakes. West
side rivers, including the Hoh, Quillayute, Sol Duc and Elwha, are
popular for rafting and kayaking.
Kayaks in Port Townsend
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, Dungeness Spit and the Dungeness
River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park. 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.
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.
Fishing & Foraging
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. Good lake
fishing can be had at Lake Leland, Lake Aldwell, Lake Sutherland,

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. In Sequim,
you’ll find the Cedars at Dungeness with its famous Dungeness
crab-shaped sand trap. There are also several smaller golf ranges
and the semi-private Peninsula Golf Course in Port Angeles.
Sekiu fishermen
Waterways of the newly designated Salish Sea are a mariner’s
dream. Strait of Juan de Fuca is a challenging and exhilarating
sailing experience. Port Angeles Harbor offers protection for
small craft and moorage. The Hood Canal is a glacial fjord with
many secluded coves and beaches. Both Port Angeles Harbor
and Sequim Bay have public marinas. Port Townsend also has a
marina, as does Port Hadlock and Port Ludlow. The Quilcene Boat
Haven and two Pleasant Harbor marinas can be found on Hood
Canal. Marinas for ocean fishing include world-renowned Sekiu,
Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and La Push for spectacular catches.
Oil City Beach
Wildlife Viewing
a fisher that has been 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.
The Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places on the globe to
view diverse wildlife at close proximity. Black-tailed deer inhabit
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
Gaming
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 playing Bingo, Poker, Blackjack, Roulette,
Craps, Pai Gow Poker, Spanish 21 or Three Card Poker; hearing
live jazz, dance and comedy entertainment; and dining at the
Totem Bar & Grille, Salish Room, or Bingo Bay Deli. There are
nearly 500 slot machines with 110 different varieties of games
that range in denominations from $.01 to $5. Shop at the Cedar
Boughs Art Gallery, offering gifts representative of the Northwest
Coast. Be sure to check out the totem poles and take a tour of the
symbolic totems if it is available.

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. There is also the River Rock Gift Shop
featuring unique, high-quality Native artwork.

Sailing/Marinas
Lake Crescent, Lake Pleasant, and Lake Ozette. Clallam Bay and
Sekiu have been a mecca for decades for ocean fishing, 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 and the annual Brinnon ShrimpFest. Dungeness Harbor is the home of the prized Dungeness crab, celebrated annually
at the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival.

Cycling
Olympic Discovery Trail: A trail system that will eventually
Touring the Olympic Peninsula
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
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. Two key events take
place on the trail: the North Olympic Discovery Marathon in
early June, www.nodm.com; and the Olympic Bike Adventure,
with options for 10, 25 and 60 miles, in September, www.
olympicbikeadventure.com. For details on the trail, including
maps and photos, visit www.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 the 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. A good
site to visit for more info is the Port Townsend Bicycle Association
at www.ptbikes.org.

A delightful way to explore
the Olympic Peninsula, the
Waterfall Trail offers yearround adventure and dramatic Marymere Falls
beauty. From the cliffs of Cape
Flattery, to the glacial fjord of the Hood Canal to the Enchanted Valley
Hamma Hamma Falls
of the Quinault Rainforest, waterfalls of all sizes and shapes abound!
Some are easy walks on forest trails, others reached via paved,
wheelchair-accessible paths, still more are in the backcountry of Olympic National Park. Two falls can
only be reached by boat.
Start your adventure at www.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.
