Rugged, glacier-capped peaks; scenic wild coast; lush
temperate rain forests...all in one magnificent park!
We will experience the many “faces” of Olympic National Park as we immerse ourselves in this exceptional landscape. Hiking the trails and kayaking on Lake Crescent will provide us the opportunity to absorb the vast beauty, mystery and uniqueness of this park. Along with enjoying the spectacular summer display of wildflowers, we’ll be on the lookout for wildlife, from Roosevelt Elk to Bald Eagles and seals to anemones and starfish.
Join me on this unique adventure and enter a world of stunning natural splendor as we explore......

.....the Olympic Mountains and their glacier-capped summits, rocky slopes, montane forests and subalpine wildflower-filled meadows.
.....the Wilderness Coast with its colorful tidepools and picturesque beaches, rocky headlands, coastal forests and offshore sea stacks.
.....the Temperate Rain Forests. Ancient, lush, jungle-like, magical forests supporting a wonderful array of epiphytes, mosses, ferns and lichens draping from branches and covering tree trunks in a vast palette of greens.

Olympic National Park is often referred to as three great parks in one, because of its glacier-capped mountains; scenic, wild coast and lush temperate rain forests.
We will enjoy an incredible week of hiking and naturalist interpretation as we explore the diversity of Olympic, from breathtaking mountain vistas and meadows of wildflowers to towering trees of the ancient forests and colorful ocean tidepool communities.
Immerse yourself in this gem of a national park......
- Walk amongst the ancient, towering trees of the Hoh Rain Forest
- Feel the power of Sol Duc Falls
- Explore the wild and scenic Pacific Coast
- Gaze upon Goblin's Gate
- Hike in the Elwha River Valley, a river made wild again after dam removal
- Learn about the Makah tribe at the Makah Museum
- Hike to Cape Flattery, the very northwest tip of the continental US
- Wander trails through the subalpine meadows of Hurricane Ridge
- Kayak on Lake Crescent, known for its brilliant blue waters and exceptional clarity

Our accommodations are very special with both lodges situated in outstanding locations within the Olympic Wilderness! Lakeside rooms in the Marymere Lodge provide excellent views of the deep, clear, glacier-carved Lake Crescent. And, we’ll hear the roar of the sea at our private cabins of Kalaloch Lodge, which sits high on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Coast and offers a wide, easily accessible sandy beach.
Each day will bring us new experiences in this magnificent park as we hike along park trails, investigating whatever crosses our path and catches our interest. We’ll be on the lookout for wildlife, and I promise there will be no lack of spectacular scenery to view throughout the week.
