Photos of Olympic National Park that will Make You Book a Trip

Olympic National Park is one of those rare places that offers a beach, a rainforest, and towering, snowcapped mountains, all relatively close to each other. It’s a stunningly diverse landscape, offering adventures and awe to anyone who visits.

Hurricane Ridge

Hurricane Ridge offers the best bang for your buck in terms of effort and views. You can drive from the ocean into the mountains in less than 40 minutes for gobsmacking views.

La Push Beach

One of the best places to watch the sunset on the Washington Coast. It’s truly magical.

Lake Crescent

Lake Crescent is a stunning lake with a lot of access points to go kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or simply sit and enjoy the views.

Olympic Mountain Range

These mountains, especially in winter, tower above the low-lying hills, giving those in Seattle quite the morning wake-up!

Tree of Life

Somehow this tree keeps hanging on, even though gravity and erosion are working against it every day. At some point, the tree will collapse. Until then, go and see it!

Hoh Rainforest

Explore the Quinault rainforest section of Olympic NP. Pictured is the Nature Trail.

A magical rainforest that sees over 10 feet of rain annually. In my opinion, the best time to view is after rain.

Marymere Falls

A short hike to a beautiful waterfall as you’re driving through the Olympic Peninsula. You park at Lake Crescent, and the trail is mostly flat except for the final tenth of a mile.
