11 days in Olympic National Park Itinerary

In Olympic National Park, ancient rainforests and ocean tidal pools at lower elevations contrast with wildflower-filled alpine meadows and snowcapped peaks.

Escape the urban bustle at Hurricane Ridge and Lake Crescent. Discover out-of-the-way places like Merriman Falls and Staircase Rapids Nature Trail. Get out of town with these interesting Olympic National Park side-trips: Quinault (Quinault Big Cedar & Quinault Big Spruce Tree) and Dalby Water Wheel (in Union). There's much more to do: hike along Quinault River-Pony Bridge Day Hike, stroll through Mount Storm King, enjoy the sand and surf at Rialto Beach, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Olympus.
