Here you will find 73 miles of pristine, wild Pacific Ocean beaches; moss-draped rain forest valleys; and peaceful, wildflower-carpeted alpine meadows at the doorstep of glacier-capped mountains. Designated an UNESCO* World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, roads enter the Park s interior from its edge like spokes on a wheel, leaving 95% of the Park designated as Olympic Wilderness. This wilderness is home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals, including the world s largest unmanaged Roosevelt Elk herd and the elusive Olympic marmot. It also offers over 600 miles of trails for hiking, climbing and exploring. Any Season Is Olympic Season Any season is perfect to explore the Park. In winter, snowshoe with a Ranger at Hurricane Ridge and during summer, enjoy an interpretive talk around a campfire. Spring brings melting snow that revs up the river levels and waterfall volume to roaring. On a warm summer day, find a shaded spot under a mossy tree or a cool eddy in a river to dangle your feet. In fall, stroll under the brilliant gold big leaf maples or scout for migrating birds. The ocean beaches beckon year round with dramatic surf, storms, micro-societies in tidal pools and massive whales spouting as they migrate offshore. This is a place where you truly can snowshoe in the morning and go surfing in the afternoon, or simply find a secluded spot to enjoy nature at its most protected! *United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization

La Push Forks Hadlock 104 Ludlow Olympic National Park Quilcene Brinnon 3 Photo: Lonnie Archibald Hoh Rain Forest Forks, La Push, Rain Forest Surrounded by rain forest valleys and within minutes of the rugged Pacific Coast, Forks is a friendly little town full of recreation opportunities. Within an hour of Forks, one can be strolling a rain forest trail, kayaking a tidal estuary, surfing a wilderness beach, soaking in natural hot spring waters or canoeing a clear blue glacier-carved lake. From Coast to Forest Over 70 miles of protected coastline form the western boundary of the north Olympic Peninsula. Twenty-five miles south of Forks, Ruby Beach, Kalaloch and South Beaches beckon, and only 14 miles west, one can be at Rialto Beach or First Beach in La Push, home of the Quileute Tribe. Great forested trails leading to pristine shores are found at Second and Third Beaches near La Push. The dense rain forest valley of the glacier-fed Hoh River is a must see. These forests thrive sustained by 12 to 16 feet of rainfall a year, not including the 30 inches of tree drip from fog condensing in the canopy! The browsing herds of Roosevelt elk feed on the thick understory and keep it from obscuring the view. The Hoh Visitor Center is the starting point for several walks under two miles, as well as longer and more challenging hikes to the glaciers and alpine meadows of Olympic National Park s interior. La Push Home of the Quileute People for thousands of years, this village at the mouth of the Quillayute River offers a marina and services for visitors including beachfront resort and RV park. The mile-wide First Beach is a popular surfing spot and a favorite place for gray whales to pause and feed on their northward migration.

23 Olympic Coast Cuisine Cuisine is an art form that engages all of the human senses. Foods that are well-prepared with fresh, local ingredients impart a sense of a place and its culture. Resplendent with fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables, as well as coastal seafood, handcrafted wines and other local foods, the Olympic Peninsula has much to offer the culinary tourist. Farmers, restaurants and hotels have successfully endorsed an eat local movement and we are proud of our longstanding agricultural heritage. The Ingredients Peninsula farms such as Nash s Organic Produce, supply local restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets with fresh, raw ingredients. As the region s largest certified organic grower, Nash s produces more than 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables that are sold at the farm store and at local outlets. Grains grown on the farm are used in breads sold at area bakeries. Other local producers include the Dry Creek Farm, a certified organic provider of farm fresh eggs and poultry; the Elwha Apiary, providing a variety of honey-based products; and the Dungeness Valley Creamery, a family farm providing raw milk and cream from their own herd of Jersey cows. Their milk, in turn, is used by Mount Townsend Creamery in Townsend to create delicious artisan cheeses. Lavender is another of the region s signature culinary attractions. The town of Sequim is home to many lavender farms. Most have wonderful gift shops open during the June to August season or year round. You ll find a wide range of lavender products from seasonings and baked goods to bath products and decor items. The Sequim Lavender Festival and Lavender Farms Faire is held the third week every July and draws visitors from around the world. Sunny Farms in Carlsborg offers local produce Fresh seafood Salmon, steelhead, trout, oysters, mussels, razor clams and the famous geoduck clams are a few examples of fresh-fromthe-sea Olympic Coast Cuisine. While visitors will find a realm of local seafood on Peninsula restaurant menus, outdoor adventurers may prefer to reel in their own catch! Several Olympic Peninsula rivers, including the Sol Duc, Hoh, Bogachiel, Calawah and Quileute, offer world-class salmon and steelhead fishing. The Peninsula is also home to some of the best clamming beaches in the state. Check seasonal regulations before heading out. Photo: InsideOut Solutions, Inc.

Numerous private campgrounds can be found throughout the region with different levels of amenities. Most are open year round. For a guide to RV parks, see pages With state, county, city and private campgrounds, not to mention Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, visitors can take their pick of a variety of camping experiences ranging from extremely primitive to amenity-laden. Hiker s Paradise Trails vary widely, from strolling on nature trails to climbing rock faces in the high mountains. The Peninsula has over 900 miles of trails, many that can be enjoyed year round. As you explore the trails and visit the scenic backcountry and wilderness, please be considerate and leave no trace of your passing. Hikers with dogs might want to consider Forest Service trails as fourlegged friends can find off-leash freedom. 24 Photo: Courtesy of Strait of Juan de Fuca Byway Assn.

26 Photo: Debbie Preston Fishing & Foraging With the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the north and Hood Canal on the east, the fishing possibilities are endless. Some of the best river fishing in the world can be foundon the Elwha, Bogachiel, Hoh and Sol Duc Rivers. While regulations vary on lake fishing, good lake fishing can be found across the peninsula. Clallam Bay and Sekiu have been an ocean fishing mecca for decades, as are La Push on the Pacific Ocean and Neah Bay at the Peninsula s northwestern tip. Many charters sail out of these bays and harbors. Hood Canal, especially near Quilcene and Brinnon, is famous for its shellfish and the annual Brinnon ShrimpFest. Dungeness Harbor is the home of the prized Dungeness crab, celebrated annually during the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival in Angeles. Sailing/Marinas Waterways of the newly designated Salish Sea are a mariner s dream. The Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north is a challenging and exhilarating sailing experience. Marinas for ocean fishing include world-renowned Sekiu, Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and La Push for spectacular catches. Along the Strait, Angeles Harbor and Sequim Bay offer protection for small craft and moorage. The Hood Canal is a glacial fjord with many secluded coves and beaches. The Quilcene Boat Haven and two Pleasant Harbor marinas can be found on Hood Canal. Several other marinas offer public moorage in Townsend, Hadlock and Ludlow. Wildlife Viewing The Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places on the globe to view diverse wildlife at close proximity. Black-tailed deer inhabit 25 Sekiu fishermen Oil City Beach the hills and lowlands and are frequently seen throughout the region. Likewise, eagles and raptors such as falcons and hawks populate many areas on the Peninsula. In the fall, spawning season brings different species of salmon into the rivers and streams. In Olympic National Park, mountain goats live in the higher altitudes, while Roosevelt elk roam in the lower areas and move in and out of the Park boundaries. You may also see an elusive marmot or a fisher that was re-introduced into the Park in The Olympic National Park Visitor Center has information on indigenous species, and safety information about the animals you don t want to see up close, such as black bear, bobcats and cougar. Casinos There are two casinos on the Peninsula. The Jamestown S Klallam Tribe operates Seven Cedars Casino on Hwy at Blyn, five miles east of Sequim. Enjoy table games and slots, as well as several dining options and a variety of live entertainment. The Cedar Boughs Art Gallery has gifts representative of the Northwest Coast. Be sure to take an up-close look at the symbolic totem poles on the property. The Elwha River Casino, located about 15 minutes west of Angeles, has over 100 electronic slot machines. The full-service River s Edge Deli offers salads, burgers, soups, sandwiches and homemade baked goods. Photo: Donna Alumbaugh Photo: Courtesy of OPVB
