Turism

•Day Hikes and Walks

Day hikes of different difficulty are found throughout the park. Some are easy and accessible while others are more challenging.

•Campgrounds

Olympic National Park operates 16 settled campings with a total of over 900 sites

•Fishing

The primary objectives of the fisheries management program at Olympic National Park are to preserve and restore native fishes and their habitats. All waters are open to fishing from one hour before official sunrise to one hour after official sunset. 

•Bird watching

In the mountain meadows, you may see blue grouse, woodpeckers, gray jays, and many more. Along the coast, bald eagles, rhinoceros auklets, western gulls, and a number of other coastal birds can be spotted feeding, or nesting in offshore trees. You will enjoy watching all the different types of birds.

     • Exploring the coast

No two miles of Olympic's Pacific coastline are alike. From beaches (that might be sandy or rocky) to cliffs plunging into the sea, you'll find it somewhere along Olympic's 73 miles of coastline. Wherever you go along the coast, always carry a tide table and know how to use it!

     • Climbing
You can choose from a variety of mountain ranges, depending on the level and the experience that you have from climbing.
There are a few areas of interest for the serious rock climber however. The popular sawtooth ridge, and the Needles crags hold rock of a much higher quality with some exciting and unique ascents.
