#165: Olympic National Park: Top Ten Things to See and Do


Listen Later

There’s a reason to visit Olympic National Park any time of year. While summer is best, each season offers visitors a chance to enjoy this incredibly diverse natural resource. Regardless of how often we visit Olympic we always leave wanting to go back as soon as we can find another couple of free days.

Olympic National Park might be more popular than most people realize. In 2023, it was the tenth most visited U.S. national park, with 2,947,503 visitors. Yet despite the number of visitors, it doesn't feel as crowded as some of the other national parks.

Places on our top ten list include,

·     Hurricane Ridge,

·     Devil’s Punchbowl,

·     Lake Crescent Lodge,

·     Marymere Falls,

·     Sol Duc Falls,

·     Rialto Beach,

·     The Hoh Rain Forest,

·     Ruby Beach,

·     The lodge and beaches in the Kalaloch area, and

·     Quinault Rain Forest
