Description
This tour offers the chance to experience the best that the Olympic Peninsula has to offer, perfectly balancing challenge and comfort. From high alpine ridges and wildflower-studded meadows to dramatic waterfalls, and from moss-draped giant trees to rugged beaches—this trip truly has it all. To top it off, we’ll stay and dine at a historic National Park lodge nestled in the forest, providing both solitude and beauty.
Highlights include a ridge traverse at 5,500 feet above sea level, a long yet moderate coastal hike to Shi Shi Beach—one of the most stunning beaches in the world—and a hike through the renowned Hoh Rainforest, home to some of the largest and oldest trees in Washington.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 2
Scale of 1-5. 1 is least difficult; 5 is most difficult
This trip follows well-maintained trails through the rainforests; the hikes along the beach are on soft, loose sand, hard-packed sand, or small rocks, depending on the tides; some rocks along the beach may be slippery as they are often wet and/or covered in algae or seaweed. Depending on the specific trails chosen by the guide(s), some short sections on the beach may require upper body strength for stabilizing or climbing over and around large boulders or climbing up and down steep headlands using fixed ropes. These sections are not required for any of the hikes, but are optional based on the interests and abilities of the group.
