Stop At: Crescent Lake
Lake Crescent This deep lake in the heart of Olympic National Park holds water that is a brilliant hue of bright blue. It was formed during the last Ice Age by thousands of years of glacial activity.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Marymere Falls
Because of development, very few temperate rainforests outside of Olympic National Park exist along this stretch today. In Olympic, temperatures rarely drop below freezing or go above 80F, enabling an incredibly unique ecosystem to grow. Mosses, ferns, Douglas fir, red alders, Western hemlocks and Sitka spruce thrive in temperate rainforests, as do epiphytes, which are plants growing on other plants. Cat-tail moss and licorice ferns are two types of epiphytes you will find in Olympic.

11/01-03/31 Itinerary not going to Hurricane Ridge: Special Note: Ediz Hook is a long, thin peninsula that juts out from the Port Angeles Harbor. The vast open view of the hook showcases the blue and green colors of the Olympic Mountains and also gives a faint view of Canada from across the water. Other than the group of stray community cats that roam the area, you are more than likely to find seals and peeks of orcas in the distance. Additionally, there is an abundance of different types of birds. At the very end of Ediz Hook there is a U.S. Coast Guard Station responsible for search and rescue, homeland security, and environmental maintenance.
