Day Hiking in Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park, described as “three parks in one”, can take you from the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean, to lush rain forests, to windswept alpine areas. It’s varied, gorgeous, and enormous.

With no roads going through the park, it takes considerable time getting from one part to another and takes a bit of planning. Below are 84 day hikes that I’ve identified and ranked for my Day Hikes of Olympic National Park Map Guide.

The ranking is my recommendation based upon what I feel gives you the most “bang for your buck” starting with the high alpine areas that give you expansive views over the park followed by the sweet mixture of coastal areas and rain forests.

Click each trail name to learn more about the hike. All of this information and more is included in the Day Hikes of Olympic National Park Map Guide that I put out in the spring of 2014. It’s the best map for hiking in Olympic National Park that includes distances between junctions and color coded trail segments denoting slope steepness and much more on one side and a guide on the back of the map. Pick one up to take with you on the trail!
