About Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park covers nearly one million acres, and features such a range of precipitation and elevation, that diversity really is the hallmark of this iconic Washington State National Park.
The park actually protects a vast wilderness, as well as thousands of years of human history. There are also several distinct ecosystems within Olympic National Park, from the glacier-capped mountains, to the old-growth temperate rainforests, and over 70 of wild coastline - what an incredible place to explore with the family!
If it's outdoor adventure you want, the Olympic Park has just the thing!
The rugged shoreline offers an opportunity to see the rich life within it, so tidepooling is always a popular thing to do with kids! Backpacking is an adventure that you won't ever forget, with plenty of overnight opportunities to really make your trip special
Olympic National Park is a great spot for fishing across all seasons, and with rivers, lakes and coasts, there are plenty of opportunities for paddlers or motor boat enthusiasts.
Day hiking is a popular experience for families, as there are short walks on many of the trails that can take you out into the wilderness (but not too far!), and of course there is SO much wildlife to be seen!
Also offered within the park are Ranger-led programs, as well as night sky programs, and of course winter activities such as skiing or snowshoeing.
So are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime in the absolutely stunning Olympic National Park?
(Family Days Out have been there, and can highly recommend it!)
