Olympic: Olympic Coastline Hiking Trip
While most people think of the temperate rain forests and glaciated peaks when considering Olympic National Park, the Olympic Coastline is also part of the park's 922k acres of wilderness. The Olympic Coastline hike has you following some Olympic National Park trails, but most of the journey is along the sandy beaches between the Pacific Ocean and the lush forest.
Although the hike itself is relatively easy, the challenge comes in knowing when the tides go out so the trip can continue. Along the way, we will see tide pools that are home to various sea creatures; such as star fish, sea cucumbers, and anemones. Your guide can even catch a couple crabs and cook them up for dinner (and for those of your whose minds went in the wrong direction, please come back). Also notice the off shore islands and seas stacks near the beach and in the distance. Plus, what makes for a better Olympic National Park backpacking trip than camping on the beach with a camp fire and few people around? Like much of Olympic National Park; you have to hike to see the sights since there are very few places vehicles can access.
NOTE - This trip will not be available during times of high tide which will make the area impassible.
