Science and starlight

Join in the magic of this natural laboratory, where you can discover one of America's most remarkable landscapes through the eyes of the scientists devoted to studying and documenting its richness. Ranger tours of the park take you to the most impressive ecosystems to be found here, and offer unique insights into the rich history of this unique part of the world. What's more, interpretative walks and snowshoe hikes in the winter are joined by campfire programs offering visitors a detailed perspective on the natural heritage of the park. Experts inform you about the remarkable wildlife and geology that surround you. Far from the interference of city lights, Night Sky Programs teach visitors about astronomy. You'll have access to telescopes that enable you to see the spectacular galaxies that swirl nightly over Hurricane Ridge. Or how about a Full Moon Hike to the top of Hurricane Hill? You'll never forget the sight of these vistas lit by moonlight and the serene atmosphere.

Family forays in nature

Children adore beachcombing along the Kalaloch and Ruby Beaches, where sea stacks tower and rockpools teem with wildlife. Look out on the islands that dot the shore, and listen to the crashing of the ocean before enjoying family picnics on the Atlantic coast. Hole-in-the-Wall is ideal for family photos and fascinates children and adults alike. The arch, located just over a mile north of Rialto Beach, has been carved by the ocean over the course of hundreds of years.

Close by, the Hoh Rainforest calls with its emerald canopy and forest floor, carpeted with lush mosses and ancient ferns, like something straight out of Jurassic Park. The forest, one of the most popular spots in Olympic Park, comprises a network of hiking trails overflowing with wildlife. Follow the Hoh Lake Trail for spectacular views, and to see elk and bears in early fall.

Discover a natural wonder

The clouds float peacefully across the surface of mirrorlike Lake Crescent, which is packed with fish and surrounded by verdant mountains. Fish on the lake, or take the Spruce Railroad Trail through the woodland that lines its edge. Alternatively, join a hike along the Barned Creek Trail to stunning Marymere Falls. Throughout the summer, you can launch kayaks and canoes on the lake, or just relax on the beaches.

Douglas firs sweep the sky at Staircase, an ideal day trip destination woven with hiking trails. You can hike to the Flapjack Lakes, climbing some 3,000 feet, or along the flatter Shady Lane trail to Lake Cushman.
