Exploring the Olympic Peninsula

An amazing and unbelievably beautiful trip where the words "this can't be real" came out of my mouth a hundred times over. Fog over the mountains, lakes with the clearest water, waterfalls so powerful that you are soaked through within seconds, warm coffee, kind people; in other words, absolute MAGIC. ​

I am so excited that you're thinking about going on a trip around the Olympic Peninsula. I am far from the first to notice just how amazing-
(I'm running out of adjectives) -it is here and I know I won't be the last
​-
A few things: this is the kind of trip you really need a car for, which can definitely add to the cost of this trip. Pack Layers and more clothes than you think. I am not one to advocate for overpacking, but after one hike you could be covered in mud.Extra socks are a MUST, and mitten will make your day.
