Olympic National Park, Port Angeles

This park encompasses mountains and the sea, with temperate rain forests and largely undisturbed ecosystems. It is 95-percent wilderness, with virgin old-growth forests and untouched land. There are few roads or services, and accommodations are mostly limited to campsites with fireplaces and rest rooms, but walking the trails is well worth the effort. Admission is USD10 per vehicle fee for up to seven days, USD5 per person for cyclists and bus passengers. There are many great trails for the experienced backpacker. Other fees may apply for parking and wilderness areas.
