A full day out · Rainforest & coast

Olympic National Park

Three separate ecosystems, a ferry crossing to reach it, and a very long day.

3h 00m on the ground 150 min each way from downtown

The Hoh Rainforest gets twelve to fourteen feet of rain a year and the moss hangs off the maples in curtains. Hurricane Ridge, above Port Angeles, gives you the interior peaks from a mile up. Rialto and Ruby beaches have sea stacks and drift logs the size of buses.

You cannot do all three in a day. Hurricane Ridge plus Lake Crescent is a realistic full day; the Hoh is realistically an overnight. We will say which one your hours actually support.

What our drivers would tell you

  • Hurricane Ridge road closes in winter and after snow. Check before you plan around it.
  • This is the one trip where we will suggest staying the night rather than driving it.
