What to Expect:
The rich diversity of the Olympic Peninsula is second to none. The dramatic coastline of the Pacific Ocean features sea stacks, wide open beaches, tide pools, and Native American petroglyphs. The virgin temperate rain forests (the largest in the world) are nurtured by up to 200” of rain and are home to some of the world’s largest conifers which can be seen draped with deep green moss as well as a multitude of wildflowers.
The peninsula’s high country offers viewpoints from which you can see both the Straight of Juan de Fuca and Canada to the north and the peaks and glaciers of the Olympic Range to the east. Unique diversity extends to the flora and fauna as well. Resulting from eons of geographic isolation are many different unique sub-species that still reside on the peninsula including the Roosevelt Elk and the Olympic Marmot. This is an unforgettable trip through one of the most breathtaking natural treasures to be found in the world.
