Flanked by trails full of history and mysterious tales, the placid shores and perfect placement in the midst of the undulating Olympic foothills serve as an instant source of relaxation. Hit the trails to experience the old-growth forests of Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock trees, venturing to the misty waterfalls or babbling creeks Depending on the day, drive up to Hurricane Ridge, a mountain citadel that puts you at the edge of the Park’s exceptionally jagged peaks. Take in a superb 360-degree view from the summit that encompasses the surrounding mountains, the Strait of Juan da Fuca, and the San Juan Islands. The open meadows are ideal for wildlife viewing – be on the lookout for Olympic marmots, black-tailed deer, and even black bears. Embark on guided nature walks or snowshoes to learn more about the sub-alpine ecosystems.

Such a well-planned trip! We got to see a bit of the park, crescent lake, and even a waterfall! We had a really good lunch, and Ben had some snacks and drinks always available for us. Would highly recommend, even as a solo traveller :)

What a fantastic day! Kayla was energetic, knowledgeable and communicated every step of the way. Her passion about the PNW was contagious. A great tour!!!
