Olympic National Forest

Incredible. As of the 25th of January, the loop drive around lake Quinault was closed due to some cave in/flooding on the road. Besides that I had a beautiful walk near the lake. The world's largest spruce tree was worth seeing and right next to the water.

What an incredible place to spend an afternoon! Walking through the National Olympic Park is truly awe-inspiring; the scale of the stadiums and the architecture is breathtaking, and you can feel the history all around you. It's amazing to see how the space has been transformed into a beautiful public park, with sprawling green lawns, clean walking paths, and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're there to admire the iconic venues, go for a run, or just have a picnic with family, it's a fantastic and well-maintained destination for everyone. Highly recommended

Absolutely beautiful! The roads up the mountains have a ton of pit holes though. Any fallen trees have already been cut so it’s maintained. The trails are nicely taken care of and easy to find hiking entrance’s.

I visited this place in the summer and winter. Both times were absolutely stunning. You can't get up front and person with it like you can with other nature areas in Washington, but it is still beautiful. I think my favourite part was taking a small hike to a high spot and looking down at the ocean. The massive ships look like flies which works well to show the size of the mountains. I tried to add some of my panoramas but they didn't get compressed well.

Mt. Townsend Trail #839 was incredible. 8 miles total and strenuous. First two miles are 20% ascending grade. Once we reached the top, we could see the entire cascade range as it was a clear day. 3 hours up, 1.5 hours down.
