Description

Departing from our Port Angeles Tour Office, this 9 Hour Guided Tour begins with a scenic drive into the Elwha Valley and around Lake Crescent to reach the Sol Duc River Valley. At the Sol Duc, we will enjoy a two mile guided hike to Sol Duc Falls, one of Olympic National Park's most picturesque waterfalls. This hike features stunning views of the river canyon, a lush mossy forest floor, and towering Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock trees above us along well-maintained trails. After exploring the Sol Duc, our guests will wrap up the morning explorations at Lake Crescent, a stunning, glacier-carved lake that is outlined by beautiful mountains and is 624 feet deep. From the historic Lake Crescent Lodge, guests can enjoy time on trail hiking or enjoy the views from the well-positioned lodge. While passing through Port Angeles, our guests can purchase grab & go deli items, snacks, or coffee during our 15-20 minute scheduled stop. From Port Angeles, our van tour continues with a scenic drive from sea-level to 5,242 feet elevation atop Hurricane Ridge. Upon arrival, our guide will lead a guided hike along the subalpine nature trails to enjoy views of the meadows, peaks, and river valleys of the Olympic Mountains. After exploring the Ridge, our guide will make the 45 minute drive back down to Port Angeles to conclude the tour.
