Have you ever wanted to go to the rainforest and the beach in the same day?
Well with these top 3 things to do in Olympic National Park you’ll be keeping up with the diversity of this gorgeous park and gazing in awe that the complex beauty of your surroundings.
Hoh Rainforest
Is one of 4 rainforests in the Pacific peninsula and is one of the largest temperate rainforests in America. It is by far one of the quietest places I’ve been while hiking.
Rialto Beach
You can’t head to the PNW without catching an ocean sunset on Rialto Beach. Here’s what to keep in mind when heading to Rialto beach.
- Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots
- Wear a wind breaker for a jacket
- A tight fitting hat
- Sunglasses
- Try to time with visit with low tide (at high tide you’ll be climbing over large driftwood)
Stay at Quinault Lake Lodge
If you’re looking to stay close to the park, than you can’t go wrong staying at the Quinault Lake Lodge. Nestled right on the lake with plenty of rooms with views of the lake and easy driving to a handful to sights makes this the top place to stay.
