"The rain forest was so beautiful. The moss made the trees look ancient. It was almost like being transported into a whole other dimension. I still can't believe what my eyes were seeing. It was simply enchanting. From the large trees to the smallest mushrooms, so much life is happening here. I have to come back again soon. One day was not enough!"
"One of the best and most diverse national parks in the United States. From mountains, to waterfalls, to rain forests, to the ocean! The beauty of this park is unreal. I recommend taking your time exploring because there are a ton of great trails and views scattered throughout the different areas. We spent 2 days here and saw most of the popular attractions. You could easily spend 3 days though. Make sure to map out your trip as the entire park is huge. There’s not a lot of cell service, so I suggest downloading Google Maps beforehand. September is a great time to visit! It’s not as crowded as the summer months, but you still have a chance for sun and warmer temperatures."
"Beautiful place. Rain forest was fascinating. Went on beach which was wild and amazing. Its not one for sun bathing however. Saw the crater lake which was beautiful."
"One of my favorite National Parks. It has everything: big waterfalls, cool wildlife, mountains, ocean, lush forests… I love it. One of my favorite things to do is get lost in the moss covered forests away from everyone and enjoy one of the most peaceful places you’ll ever be in."
"Amazing national park with so much diversity in landscapes! We were able to climb to the top of mountain ridges, see the sunset over the beach/ocean and wander through the humid jungle/forest landscape. Highly recommend: Hurricane Ridge Trail. Note: if you're going during the weekdays, they have the road to the trailhead closed off to traffic (it's open on weekends though) so we had to hike an additional 1.5 mile each way from the visitor center parking lot to the trailhead. This made the hike that's usually 3 miles, a 6 mile roundtrip hike. It's quite a steep hike but the views are worth it! Also recommend Rialto Beach and just hanging on the beach around sunset! Beautiful beach for dogs, kids, skipping rocks, reading a book etc. Not so recommend: we weren't super blown away by Marymere Falls, Lake Crescent or Hoh Rainforest. They were definitely beautiful but paled in comparison to the other sights Olympic had to offer. If you only had time for one, I would recommend the Hoh Rainforest."
