Seattle: Olympic National Park Small-Group Tour – Port Angeles, Washington

EXPERIENCE

Journey through Olympic National Park with an expert guide who knows the park inside and out. No two tours with Evergreen Escapes are exactly the same as our guides use varying factors such as weather, season, group interest, road conditions, and more to curate the perfect day for your group. Spend the day exploring the wonders hidden within this World Heritage Site!

The Olympic Peninsula is home to a number of Northwest ecosystems. You’ll find remote beaches littered with tide-scoured cedar logs alongside the country s oldest forests and one of the state s most dramatic mountain ranges. It’s a true feast for the senses.

The morning may start with a ferry ride through the waterways of Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island. Connect with the Olympic Peninsula via the Kitsap Peninsula and Hood Canal Bridge, or explore the southern route with a visit to a world-renowned wildlife refuge for a break to stretch our legs and enjoy a morning snack and coffee.

Explore the glacially-carved Lake Crescent or emerald-green Lake Quinault. Flanked by trails full of history and mysterious tales, the placid shores and perfect placement in the midst of the undulating Olympic foothills serve as an instant source of relaxation. Hit the trails to experience the old-growth forests of Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock trees, venturing to the misty waterfalls or babbling creeks

Depending on the day, drive up to Hurricane Ridge, a mountain citadel that puts you at the edge of the Park s exceptionally jagged peaks. Take in a superb 360-degree view from the summit that encompasses the surrounding mountains, the Strait of Juan da Fuca, and the San Juan Islands. The open meadows are ideal for wildlife viewing be on the lookout for Olympic marmots, black-tailed deer, and even black bears. Embark on guided nature walks or snowshoes to learn more about the sub-alpine ecosystems.

On other days we may extend our journey out to the coast to visit the rocky, rugged beaches characteristic of the Pacific Northwest. Peek into the micro-ecosystems of the tidepools or gaze out into the expansive waters that define our region.
