Our guide will contact you one day before your tour and confirm the pick-up location and time.
After being picked-up at your hotel or vacation rental in our van, we'll take the scenic Washington State ferry to Bainbridge Island. Enjoy sweeping views of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound.
Drive west on Highway 101 from Port Angeles for 20 miles. At milepost 228 turn right into a large parking area signed for Lake Crescent and Marymere Falls. Continue 0.2 miles to the Storm King Ranger Station (on the shores of Lake Crescent). The paved, horseshoe parking area is near the Ranger Station and restrooms, as well as a boat launch. Begin your optional hike on the Marymere Falls Nature Trail.
To split up our drive from the Hoh Rain Forest to Rialto Beach, we will do a 20-30 minute scheduled stop at Forks Outfitters. This is a great place to pick-up lunch snacks, coffee, or a quick souvenir.
During the afternoon, our tour group will enjoy a scenic stop at Rialto Beach along the Olympic Wilderness Coast. At Rialto Beach, guests will walk alongside towering sea stacks, massive driftwood logs, and watch the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Guests can either join a guided hike led by our naturalist hiking guide or can explore the coast at their own pace as time and tides permit.
Upon arrival at the Hoh Rain Forest, our naturalist hiking guide will lead a 2 mile guided hike along the scenic nature loops up to 2 miles. During the hike, guests will be face-to-face with 300 foot tall old growth Sitka Spruce trees, sword ferns covering the forest floor, and a wide variety of vivid-green vegetation. After the rain forest hike, there will be time allocated for a picnic lunch.
