Why it works

Olympic National Park encompasses nearly a million acres, including glacier-capped mountains, old-growth temperate rain forests and over 70 miles of wild coastline.
In the Hoh Rain Forest, the Hall of Mosses and Spruce Nature Trail are two short trails that loop from the visitor center.
Rialto Beach has views of offshore islands to the south and sea stacks to the north.
Lake Crescent is a deep, glacially carved lake filled with pristine waters.

Storms and snow can close roads and whole areas of the park, such as the Hoh Rain Forest and Hurricane Ridge Road, so check current conditions before each day.
From October through May some roads, campgrounds and visitor facilities are closed or have reduced hours, and June through September are the most popular months.
