3-Day Olympic National Park Itinerary for the Best Highlights

Arrow

With epic mountain views, rainforest hikes, and sunset-perfect beaches, a visit to Olympic National Park is a must-do when visiting western Washington State.

Day 1:

Hurricane Ridge

Hurricane Ridge is a popular spot in Olympic National Park as it brings you to about 5500 feet in elevation and gives you an overlook of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains.

Day 2: 

Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach is popular with surfers and features a large sandy shore and a notable tall rock island with trees that you can hike up during low tide.

Marymere Falls

The Marymere Falls hike is an easy 1.7-mile roundtrip hike but does involve some stairs. You’ll hike through old-growth forests and reach two lookouts over the falls.

Day 3: 

Hoh Rain Forest

Hoh Rain Forest features two easy, small hikes at the Visitor’s Center that will lead you through these old-growth trees.

Ruby Beach

Here’s another beach where you want to pay attention to tide schedules. The beach has a lot of driftwood but it’s also a nice mix of sand and rocks.
