This is Olympic National Park

A Primeval Land of Contrast

A million acres await you in this unique three-parks-in-one playground. Discover 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.
Renowned for the diversity of its ecosystems, the Olympic
National Park is named a UNESCO* World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve. Roads enter the Parks interior from
its edge 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.

Any Season Is Olympic Season

In winter, snowshoe with a Ranger at Hurricane Ridge and during


summer, enjoy an interpretive talk around a campfire under the
stars. In spring, follow the snow melt to roaring waterfalls and
during fall, stroll under golden big leaf maples.
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 quiet place to enjoy pristine nature.

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, Third Beach near LaPush, Beach 4
near Kalaloch, and dont 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
planetin the spring is seems backlit with green light, the
golden maples blaze in the fall and its 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. Lena Lake Trail is also very popular.
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.

Olympic National Forest

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 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.
Dogs are also welcome on all ONF lands! FS.usda.gov/activity/
olympic/recreation/hiking
In addition to the usual outdoor activities, ONF has a bounty
of delicacies! Berries can be picked in the late summer months
and mushrooms are best gathered 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.
FS.usda.gov/main/olympic/passes-permits/forestproducts
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. These can be reserved through
the National Recreation Reservation system at Recreation.gov. For
complete information on passes and fees visit FS.usda.gov/main/

The Working Forest

The Olympic Peninsula is home to a long tradition of forestry


that has shaped the culture as well as the landscape for over a
century. Forestry has provided a growing nation with the products needed to build a sustainable quality of life for everyone.
The practice of forestry continues to evolve with the publics
growing appreciation of wild and open spaces. This is the
legacy and the benefit
of the working forest.
Forests have been
a major part of human
development since the
beginning of humanity,
providing the principle
source of fuel and
building materials for
most cultures for the
past 5000 years. In the late 19th century, forests contributed
significantly to the building of America, physically and culturally.
It is from this great American forest that we built our cities, our
transportation systems and the culture of sustainability.
The 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 explore and
understand the working forest and its many variations. Merrill
& Rings 125 year-old tree farm at Pysht is one story of forestrys
evolving management of sustainable natural resources. To learn
more, please visit Forestry.org/washington/forest.

The largest dam removal project in US history began on the Elwha


River in 2011, removing two 100-year-old dams. The Elwha River
now flows 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, salmon and other migratory fish can return to 70
miles of spawning habitat, bringing with them the promise of a
restored ecosystem and renewed cultural tradition for the Elwha
Klallam Tribe.

Elwha River Restoration Viewpoints

The former Elwha Dam and Lake Aldwell, Glines Canyon Dam
and Lake Mills sites, as well as Olympic Hot Springs Road are
open to the public. The parking area on the west side of the
former Glines Canyon Dam site remains closed while additional
work and improvements are completed. The east side of the
former Glines Canyon Dam site is accessible from Whiskey Bend
Road. The lake bed access is only available on the east side.
Anticipated opening of the western Glines Canyon viewpoint and
lake bed access from that area is summer 2015. The Elwha River
and its tributaries within Olympic National Park are closed to
all fishing. Boating is prohibited from Upper Lake Mills Trail to
Altair Campground.

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.

Rain Forest Valley of the Giants

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. Youll 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. Dont 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.

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 Parks 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.

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 Crescents 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.

artifacts dating back 500+ years, bridging the early experience

Take a Magical Misty Tour

If you are driving the Loop or


simply scouting for waterfalls,
the Olympic Peninsula Waterfall
Trail offers year-round adventure and dramatic beauty. Any
season is good for exploring. In Rocky Brook Falls
the spring, with snowmelt and
spring showers, water roars down the rivers and over the falls.
In the summer warmth, find a cool pool at the base of falls to
dangle your feet. Fall is a good time to scout waterfalls among
the colorful leaves falling and covering the ground. If you are
very careful during the ice and snow and can make it to one of
the falls, you might encounter a total fairyland world of icicles
and frost. All seasons are photogenic. Share them on the waterfall website. Visit OlympicPeninsulaWaterfallTrail.com. On
the website youll find the following resources:

Lake Quinault
Neah Bay
Sekiu
Clallam Bay

Highway 101
112
101
creates a natural,
101
scenic driving loop
104
101
around the Olympic
Olympic National Park
Peninsula. If you
begin and end in
101
Seattle, Tacoma or
Edmonds, Washington, approximately
350 miles will take
you around the
Peninsula through
a Victorian seaport, rolling fields of lavender, along the majestic
Olympic Mountains and spectacular ocean beaches, and through
a lush, temperate rain forest. Give yourself plenty of time to
explore along the way. Overnight stays are encouraged to best
experience the Olympic Peninsula.
String together your favorite things to do. Stopping at quilt
shops, gardens, beer or cider tastings, golf courses? No problem!
Like to explore lighthouses? Birding locations? Old military forts?
Youll find them, too, and a lot more.
For example, follow the Olympic Peninsula Waterfall Trail
or the Olympic Culinary Loop around the Peninsula. With these
ideas in your itinerary, youll get off the beaten path to experience what locals see and treasure. There are eight lighthouses
around the loop. From Point Wilson Lighthouse in Port
Townsend to the lighthouse in Grays Harbor, these locations are
part of the history and current life on the Olympic Peninsula. If
you are interested in rainforests, drive the 31-mile Quinault Rain
Forest Loop. With waterfalls, gigantic trees and spectacular
views of Lake Quinault, this loop is worth the two hours or so
youll need to complete it.

Olympic Coast Cuisine

Local & Delicious

Beneath the waters of our puzzle-like shorelines are shellfish


beds where oysters, shrimp, geoduck, clams and all manner of
delicacies thrive. Our glacier-turned soils are great for growing,
and our climate is mild year round. 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 get to reap the benefits.

Water Adventures
Kayaking/Canoeing/SUP/River Rafting/Surfing: Olympic

Photo: Jean Wyatt

Peninsula has many lakes, rivers and shorelines that offer fresh
and saltwater opportunities for water adventures. La Pushs First
Beach and Neah Bays 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 Canals 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 areas waters, such as the open
coastal waters of the National Marine Sanctuary, are suitable only
for advanced divers. Diving in Hood Canal is world renowned for
its clarity in the off-season.

Olympic National Park Visitor Center has information on indigenous species, and safety information about the animals you dont
want to see up close, such as black bear, bobcats and cougar.

Hikers 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.

Sailing/Marinas

Waterways of the newly designated Salish Sea are a mariners


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.

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
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

Golfing

Fishing & Foraging

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and


Hood Canal, the fishing possibilities are endless. Some of the best
28

Hoh River Steelhead

river fishing in the world can be found on the Bogachiel, Hoh and
Sol Duc Rivers. Good lake fishing can be found across the peninsula, although regulations vary.
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. The Olympic Peninsula is home of the
prized Dungeness crab, celebrated annually during the Dungeness
Crab & Seafood Festival in Port Angeles.
Shelton is the worlds largest shellfish exporter and hosts the
annual OysterFest that includes the West Coast Oyster Shucking
Championships which is Washington States official seafood festival.

Ozette Beach

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 American Goldfinch
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.
Protection Island at the head of Discovery Bay provides
nesting habitat to 70% of Puget Sounds seabird population. Bald
eagles, harbor seals and deer from the mainland also feed and

29

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.

Casinos

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 SKlallam 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 Casino Resort, 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 2,408 square nautical miles of protected marine waters off the
rugged Olympic Peninsula coastline is home to an abundance of
marine mammals and seabirds. It extends 25 to 50 miles seaward,
covering much of the continental shelf and several major submarine
canyons. Along its shores are thriving kelp and intertidal communities, teeming with fishes and other sea life. In the darkness of the
seafloor, scattered communities of deep sea coral and sponges form
habitats for fish and other important marine wildlife.
