TOURISM COMMISSION
This is Olympic
A Primeval Land of Contrast
A million acres await you in this unique, three-parks-in-one
playground. Discover 73 miles of pristine Pacific Ocean beaches,
moss-draped rain forests and wildflower-carpeted alpine meadows
at the doorstep of glacier-capped mountains.
Renowned for the diversity of its ecosystems, the Olympic
National Park is a UNESCO* World Heritage Site and International
Biosphere Reserve. Roads enter the park’s interior from its edges
like spokes on a wheel, leaving 95% of the park designated as
Olympic Wilderness. There are over 600 miles of trails for hiking,
climbing, backpacking and exploring.

Top Picks
Beach Hikes: Olympic’s wild beaches look just like they did when
wooden ships searched for the elusive Northwest Passage. Explore
them on a half-day hike to a five-day trek. Highlights: the Ozette
Wilderness Loop, Third Beach near La Push, Beach 4 near Kalaloch,
and Ruby Beach with its glittering sand.
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 in the
back country to Seven Lakes Basin and the High Divide.
Rain Forests: Visit temperate rain forests – among the few on the
planet – in the Hoh, Queets, Quinault and Bogachiel valleys. They are
emerald wonderlands of moss-draped trees – including some recordholding giants – highlighted by golden maples in the fall.
Alpine Regions: Start at Hurricane Ridge for several ridge-top
strolls. Then try bolder backcountry hikes to the Hoh, Quinault and
Elwha valleys. Lena Lake Trail is also very popular.
South Hood Canal: The Staircase entrance offers several short
day hikes that explore the area; they range from flat strolls to more
challenging trails, some gaining over 3,000 feet in elevation. Longer
hikes, like the North Fork Skokomish River trail, take a couple of days.
Olympic National Park Visitor Center & Wilderness Information Center (3002 Mount Angeles Road) in Port Angeles is the
park’s primary visitor center. It features educational park exhibits,
map and book sales, hands-on Discovery Room for younger visitors
and a 25-minute award-winning orientation film shown on request.
Dedicated staff are available to help you plan your visit, whether for
one day, one week or longer.
Wilderness camping, hiking and permit information plus bear
canisters, are available.. Many ranger stations do not have regular
winter hours. Check the park newspaper, Olympic Bugler, or
ONP website for current activities and seasonal details. If you are
traveling with a pet, please be sure to observe park policies. Find

Olympic National Forest (ONF) covers over 633,000 acres, nearly
encircling the entire Olympic National Park. It offers a wide range
of recreation, including hiking, camping, picnicking and boating, in a diverse landscape ranging from verdant rain forests to
deep canyons and high mountain ridges. There are more than 200
miles of trails, many of which wander through ancient old-growth
forests. Dogs are welcome on all ONF lands.
ONF also has a bounty of edible delicacies. Pick wild berries
in the late summer months and gather mushrooms in the fall.
Be aware of the daily limit and other state guidelines. Seal Rock
Campground on the Hood Canal allows harvesting of oysters for
personal consumption. For more information, please visit:
www.fs.usda.gov/olympic
Mt. Walker Viewpoint’s panoramic views of Puget Sound can
be found 4.1 miles off Highway 101, south of Quilcene. The parking
lot is accessible to vehicles spring through fall. This road is steep
and not recommended for vehicles pulling trailers. From the parking lot, follow a short loop trail to spectacular views.
ONF operates 17 campgrounds on a first-come, first-served
basis with varying fees. The five designated Wilderness areas 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.

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, Merriman Falls,
Bunch Creek Falls and more… All are easily accessible from the
road or by modest walk.
The Quinault Valley is the southwestern gateway to the Olympic
Peninsula and Olympic National Park. Its magnificent centerpiece
is Lake Quinault, which offers easy access to swimming, kayaking,
canoeing and sailing from many campgrounds and resorts.
From Coast to Forest
Enjoy scenic ocean shores with easy beach access from both camp
sites and rental accommodations nearby in the Kalaloch (pronounced clay-lock) area. Beach Trail 4 leads to a pebble beach
with teeming tidal pools and dramatic surf (beware of the strong
undertow). This beach is also a popular place to net smelt, small
fish that come to spawn in the surf during warm, calm weather.
North of Kalaloch is picturesque Ruby Beach, named for its sometimes garnet-colored sand.
Inland, explore the “Valley of the Rain Forest Giants” where
record-setting evergreen trees thrive. Hike miles of groomed hiking
trails, access wild backcountry, fish for world-class salmon and
steelhead, bird-watch and hunt for mushrooms in this enchanting
canopy of rain forest.

Averaging 12 feet of rain per year, the Quinault Valley has the
ideal climate to grow big conifer trees. It is home to six recordsetting giants—the largest western red cedar, Sitka spruce,
douglas fir, yellow cedar, mountain hemlock and western
hemlock trees—as recognized by the National Forestry Association. Only redwoods and sequoias are larger. Some of these giant
trees can be seen on a modest to moderate hikes. For more
information, contact the Quinault Forest Ranger Station:
360-288-0203.
The Quinault Rain Forest Loop Drive
Quinault Indian Reservation
A 31-mile loop road around Lake Quinault parallels the
Quinault River and ventures into Olympic National Park,
providing magnificent views into the heart of the Olympic
Mountains. There are many easy-access opportunities to take
photographs and to view waterfalls and wildlife and explore
on foot. View several of the waterfalls listed on the Olympic
Peninsula Waterfall Trail along the drive. All are easily accessible from the road or by a modest walk. Enjoy spectacular
views of giant trees and the Quinault River along the Loop
Drive. Watch for Roosevelt elk, blacktail deer, bald eagle,
bobcat, cougar and black bear. Allow two hours’ minimum to
complete the trip by car.
The Quinault Indian Nation includes the Quinault and Queets tribes
and descendants of five other coastal tribes: Quileute, Hoh, Chehalis,
Chinook and Cowlitz. They walk the same beaches, paddle the same
waters and hunt the same lands as their ancestors did centuries ago.
The Quinault Indians traditionally used Lake Quinault as summering grounds. Visit the Quinault Cultural Center in Taholah to see
natural and cultural artifacts. Take a fishing trip or beach tour with a
Quinault guide to learn about native birds and wildlife.

Forks is the friendly little town catapulted to fame by Twilight
books and movies. Visit the Forks Timber Museum to learn about
local history back to the 1870s. Investigate the many intriguing
treasures at John’s Beachcombing Museum, collected since 1976

Forks is the perfect base camp for day excursions on the west side
of the Olympic Peninsula. Stop in at Forks Outfitters for camping
and hiking supplies. Many trails are pet-friendly, so bring your
best friend!
Fishing Adventures
The Bogachiel, Hoh, Sol Duc and Calawah Rivers offer worldclass fishing when salmon and steelhead are running. For
salmon and other saltwater fish, charter a fishing boat from La
Push. Local guides, restaurants and inns cater to fishing enthusiasts, providing pre-dawn breakfasts and packing lunches to go.
Hoh Rain Forest
The dense rain forest valley of the glacier-fed Hoh River is a mustsee. 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. Browsing herds of Roosevelt elk feed on the
thick undergrowth and keep it from obscuring the trail 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 banks or take a
trip down the river via kayak, raft or guided drift boat.

One of the nation’s National Scenic Byways, State Highway 112 follows the scenic shoreline of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which connects Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean and separates the Olympic
Peninsula from Vancouver Island, Canada. This dramatic coastline
extends farther into the North Pacific than any other mainland
point in the lower 48 states. Its winding route is beautiful year
round, changing with the seasons.
View rugged cliffs and thick forests, watch for oft-seen eagles,
otters and gray whales. Visit the Joyce General Store and Depot
Museum, Salt Creek Recreation Area with beach access and tide
pools and fishing villages of Clallam Bay, Sekiu and Neah Bay, on the
Makah Indian Reservation. Take a side trip to scenic Lake Ozette.
Joyce
This small town evolved from Port Crescent, a boom town that
vied with Port Angeles in the late 1800s. An 1890 election named
Port Angeles the county seat, thereby diminishing Port Crescent’s
importance. Later the community moved to its present location,
renamed as Joyce. The Joyce Depot Museum has displays from old
Port Crescent days. The Joyce General Store celebrated its 100th
birthday in 2011. Nearby Salt Creek Recreation Area and Freshwater
Bay are popular camping and recreation sites.
Separated by just two miles of beach, the communities of Clallam
Bay and Sekiu look across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver
Island, Canada. Enjoy outstanding sport fishing. Go beachcombing and find abundant marine life. Enjoy hiking, birding, kayaking and wildlife watching. Lodging, campgrounds, restaurants,

Eagles abound along Hwy 112.
Shi Shi Beach: The Shi Shi trail is a 3.3-mile trail to one of the
most spectacular sights in Washington State. This is a great
surfing spot and among the most unspoiled beaches in the USA.
Sekiu is a world-famous recreational fishing destination –
record-breaking salmon and halibut have been caught offshore.
It offers all the services for sport fishing, including charter trips
and boat rentals. Other recreational activities include beachcombing – always a favorite – surfing, kayaking and scuba
diving, plus hiking in nearby wilderness. Bird watchers come to
spot puffins, marbled murrelets, migrating swans, raptors, bald
eagles and coastal birds, many of which winter on the coast. Gray
and humpback whales, orcas and sea otters are also frequently
sighted off shore.
Coastal Recreation
Sekiu and Clallam Bay are near the turn-off road to Lake Ozette,
located along a Pacific coast sliver of the Olympic National Park.
Here 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 was
named one of the “Top 10 Campgrounds for Experts” by Sunset
Magazine in 2014 – because you must hike in. The trek is well
worth it to experience one of the most spectacular stretches on
the Olympic coastline.

many fun events and get to know some of the people who make

Outdoor Fun in the Sun
Due to the “rain shadow” caused by the Olympic Mountains,
Sequim is one of the driest places in Western Washington. It is
even home to a tiny prickly pear cactus. Averaging just 16 inches
of annual rainfall, Sequim is the perfect destination for outdoor
adventure. Come to hike, bike, kayak, golf and bird-watch. Bring
binoculars to better enjoy the area’s wonderful vistas.
Rich in Agricultural Heritage
Sequim is known for its organic fruits and vegetables and the
fragrant herb lavender. In the summer, pause at roadside stands
and U-pick farms for raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and
strawberries. Shop the Sequim Farmers’ Market for the freshest
local produce.
Visit local lavender farms to pick your own sweet bouquets
and purchase hand-crafted lavender products. Many farms are
open for U-pick from July through September.
Also enjoy local products from the Dungeness Valley Creamery and savor the native Dungeness crab.

deer. Trails and picnic areas offer sweeping views of the beaches,
Dungeness Harbor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Hike or paddle to the end of the spit to see the New Dungeness Lighthouse, built in 1857 and listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. It has been manned by The New Dungeness
Light Station Association since 1994 and offers the opportunity to
be a “Lighthouse Keeper” for a week. Go at low tide if hiking and
in calm seas if boating or kayaking. Call ahead for reservations
as water access is limited to minimize disturbance to marine
mammals and birds.

Salmon returning to the Elwha
The Working Forest
The removal of 100-year-old Elwha and Glines Canyon dams on
the Elwha River began in mid-September 2011, as the largest dam
removal and restoration project in U.S. history. Today, with both
dams gone, the Elwha River flows freely through the valley from
its headwaters in the Olympic Mountains to the Strait of Juan de
Fuca. Lake Mills and Lake Aldwell reservoirs have drained and
for the first time in a century, salmon and other migratory fish
returned within months to 70 miles of spawning habitat, bringing with them the promise of a restored ecosystem and renewed
cultural tradition for the Elwha Klallam Tribe.
There are two locations to view the old dam sites. The Glines
Canyon Overlook at former Lake Mills has part of the old dam
remaining with interpretive panels along the viewing walkway.
Trails along the former shores and lakebed offer a perspective of

The Olympic Peninsula is home to a long tradition of forestry
that has shaped the culture as well as the landscape for more
than a century. In the late 19th century, forests contributed significantly to the building of America’s cities and transportation
systems.
Early loggers
Olympic
forests
provided
a growing
nation with
the necessary wood
products
to build a
sustainable
quality of
life for everyone. The
practice of forestry is now evolving with the public’s growing
appreciation of wild spaces and renewal of natural resources.
This is the legacy and the benefit of the working forest.
The Olympic Peninsula’s forestry legacy continues today
in second- and third-growth forests, providing products for the
nation and jobs for the people of the Olympic Peninsula.
The Olympic Peninsula is a wonderful place to learn about
the working forest. Visit Merrill & Ring’s 125-year-old tree farm
at Pysht for insight on forestry’s evolving management of sustainable natural resources. To learn more, please visit Forestry.

Highway 101 offers a scenic driving loop around the Olympic
Peninsula. Its 350 miles truly show off the majestic Olympic
Mountains, spectacular ocean beaches and lush temperate rain
forests. Overnight stays are strongly encouraged.
Along the way, explore coastal lighthouses, old military forts
and birding locations. Pause in a Victorian seaport, enjoy wine,
beer or cider tastings, play on a championship golf course and
get off the beaten path to discover what the locals treasure.
For example, follow the Olympic Peninsula Waterfall Trail or
the Olympic Culinary Loop around the peninsula. Find the eight
lighthouses along the loop, reaching from the Point Wilson Lighthouse in Port Townsend to the Gray’s Harbor lighthouse. Drive
the Quinault Rain Forest Loop around Lake Quinault to view
gigantic trees and impressive waterfalls.
With all there is to explore on the Olympic Peninsula Loop,
plan several days to best experience its rich diversity.

Diving: Surrounded on three sides by water, the Olympic Peninsula has some of the best diving on the West Coast. There are
many locations around the coast of the Peninsula that offer diving
and marine services.
Freshwater diving: Lake Crescent and Lake Ozette.
Saltwater diving: Hood Canal is world-renowned for its water’s
clarity in the off-season.

Black-tailed deer: frequently spotted in the hills and lowlands.
Hiker’s Paradise
The Peninsula has over 900 miles of hiking trails, and many can
be enjoyed year round. They range from easy nature trails to rugged wilderness tracks – plus rock climbing in the high mountains. Explore the trails and visit scenic backcountry while being
considerate to leave no trace of your passing. Hikers with dogs
prefer Forest Service trails where their four-legged friends can be
off-leash. More dog-friendly details on page 5.
Sailing/Marinas
The Strait of Juan de Fuca offers a challenging and exhilarating
sailing experience. Enjoy calmer sailing and boating in Hood
Canal, a glacial fjord with many secluded coves and beaches. The
Quilcene Boat Haven and two Pleasant Harbor marinas are located there. Other marinas offer public moorage in Port Townsend,
Port Hadlock and Port Ludlow. Along the strait, Port Angeles
Harbor and Sequim Bay have protected moorage for small craft.
Marinas catering to ocean fishing include world-renowned
Sekiu, Clallam Bay and Neah Bay. On the Pacific Ocean coast, La
Push features saltwater charter fishing.
Wildlife Viewing
The Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places to view diverse
wildlife at close proximity. The Olympic National Park (ONP)
Visitor Center has information on indigenous species and safety
information about animals better not seen up close, such as black
bear, bobcats and cougar.
Roosevelt elk: in the lower ONP areas and often seen on the
peninsula.
Mountain goats and marmots: in ONP at higher altitudes.

Hoh River Steelhead
The Olympic Peninsula is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, the Strait
of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal, plus it has some of the best river
fishing in the world. Sekiu, Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and La Push
have been ocean-fishing destinations for decades. Many charters
sail out of these harbors. The Bogachiel, Hoh and Sol Duc Rivers
offer superb freshwater fishing, plus the many lakes offer excellent
fishing, too. Note regulations, which can vary.
The Olympic Peninsula is home of the prized Dungeness
crab, celebrated annually during the Dungeness Crab & Seafood
Festival in Port Angeles. Hood Canal, especially near Quilcene and
Brinnon, is famous for its shellfish.
Ozette Beach
Birding
Enthusiasts come to the Olympic
Peninsula from around the world
to watch for more than 300 species
of birds, including bald eagles,
marbled murrelets, brants, falcons,
dippers and widgeons. Popular
coastal viewing areas include Cape American Goldfinch
Flattery, Neah Bay, along Hwy 112,
Port Angeles’ waterfront and Ediz Hook, Dungeness Spit and Marrowstone Island east of Port Townsend.
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 to view this 364-acre site from the water.
Inland, go bird-watching by the upper waters of Dungeness
and Gray Wolf Rivers in Olympic National Forest and at Hurricane
Ridge in the Olympic National Park. The Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park offers Wednesday morning
bird walks year round. Visit DungenessRiverCenter.org for

Peninsula. Whether you’re looking for an alpine forest, a mossy
valley or peaceful rocky beach you’ll find a rewarding location to
experience. Accommodations vary widely from full amenities to
remotely rustic. Keep in mind that summer months are busiest and
spots fill up fast on weekends.
It is best to reserve a spot in advance, but note that all sites
within Olympic National Park except those at Olympic National
Park & Forest lodges are on a first-come first-served basis.
Children’s ages and pet
types allowed vary.
