More specifically, it\u2019s defined by the area\u2019s wet and dry season.<\/p>\n<h3>Olympic National Park Tourist Season<\/h3>\n<p>High season for tourism in Olympic National Park is during summertime. This is when temperatures are most pleasant, and when the area sees <em>significantly <\/em>less rainfall. The Pacific Northwest is often defined by its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/how-to-protect-your-camera-from-the-weather-while-traveling\/\" target=\"_blank\">rainy<\/a> climate, and Olympic is no exception. Despite the crowds, we also think this is the <strong>best <\/strong>time to visit Olympic National Park. It is by far the most pleasant time of year, <em>especially <\/em>if you are planning on staying overnight and keeping dry. To understand this further, let\u2019s break down some climate specifics:<\/p>\n<h3>Olympic National Park Weather<\/h3>\n<p>Olympic National Park is characterized by its temperate climate, which sees plenty of precipitation and a distinct wet and dry season. Summers are warm, with highs around 70-74F, and lows around 47-50F. Shoulder seasons are mild, with highs around 57-67F, and lows around 38-48F. Winters are cold, with highs around 44-50F, and lows around 34-37F.&nbsp;It\u2019s also worth noting that Olympic National Park is a <em>big <\/em>park covering over 900,000 acres. It also features a wide variety of elevations, from valleys to mountains, as well as a long coastline. There are distinct differences in terrain which range from lush rainforest, to wildflower meadows, and more. All this is to say that temperatures and precipitation is <em>not <\/em>consistent throughout the park. You can expect different temperatures at different elevations, and different precipitation patterns on any given day. Speaking of precipitation, it\u2019s perhaps the most important factor to consider when planning a trip to Olympic National Park. Olympic National Park receives a lot of precipitation, with rain that turns into snow at certain elevations. Wet season in Olympic picks up in October and lasts until early April, with the park seeing roughly over 10 inches of precipitation in most of these months. The precipitation drops sharply from May to September, only averaging around 2 inches per month. Overall, it\u2019s pretty easy to see why tourists prefer the warm, dry months in Olympic National Park.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_to_Olympic_National_Park\"><\/span>Getting to Olympic National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tourists who are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/8-luggage-sets-youll-want-next-vacation\/\" target=\"_blank\">flying<\/a> to Olympic National Park will most likely land in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which is east of the park in Seattle. Many who land in Seattle-Tacoma will rent a car to explore the region, which is our recommended way of seeing Olympic National Park. Olympic National Park\u2019s large size makes a car the best way to see the park. It allows you to plan your trip and see the destinations that interest you most, and it\u2019s also a great way to explore these areas at your own pace. But it\u2019s important to note that much of the park is made of dense forest, which means there aren\u2019t roads running through most sections of the park. Highway 101 runs roughly around the circumference of the park, with numerous supporting roads that lead to certain destinations. You can check on road conditions <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/olym\/planyourvisit\/current-road-conditions.htm\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. There <em>are <\/em>also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clallamtransit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">buses<\/a> which can take tourists to Olympic National Park, but it\u2019s hard to recommend them as a preferred method of transportation. The park\u2019s sheer size makes it difficult to explore without your own car, or without a guided tour.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_in_Olympic_National_Park\"><\/span>What to Do in Olympic National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered the logistics, let\u2019s get to the fun stuff. What should you do in Olympic National Park? The park\u2019s size makes it difficult to make an exhaustive list, so we\u2019ve picked a few of our favorite sites.

It\u2019s a great place to start your National Park adventure, albeit an obvious choice. The Visitor Center is full of maps, information pamphlets, tour info, and more. You can also ask a Park Ranger or a member of staff for more information on things like trail difficulty, distance to certain attractions, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Hoh Rainforest<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98330\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98330\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hoh-Rainforest.jpg\" alt=\"Hoh Rainforest\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hoh-Rainforest.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hoh-Rainforest-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hoh-Rainforest-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hoh-Rainforest-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hoh Rainforest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hoh Rainforest is a great example of the varied geography in Olympic National Park. Its annual rainfall gives it the status of a \u201ctemperate rainforest\u201d, and has resulted in lush greenery, moss-covered surroundings, and lots of vegetation. Check out the Hoh Rainforest Visitor Centre to get started, where there are maps and general information about the area. There are many trails to choose from, which range from beginner to advanced.<\/p>\n<p>Simply walking through Hoh Rainforest is an experience on its own, and you might even forget where you are in the world at some points. It\u2019s unlike anything we\u2019ve seen in the United States, and it was an easy choice at the top of our list.<\/p>\n<h3>Lake Crescent<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98329\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98329\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lake-Crescent.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Crescent\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lake-Crescent.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lake-Crescent-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lake-Crescent-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lake-Crescent-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Crescent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lake Crescent is a glacial lake, and the most popular lake destination in Olympic National Park. The lake features a stunning vista, backed onto mountains and forests, which reflect off the lake in a sight to behold. The region is popular for water activities like boating, canoeing, and swimming (although the waters are quite cold most of the year). There are also many hiking trails in the region which range from moderate to intense. Lake Crescent is located east of Port Angeles, toward the northern tip of Olympic.<\/p>\n<h3>Hurricane Ridge<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98328\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98328\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hurricane-Ridge.jpg\" alt=\"Hurricane Ridge\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hurricane-Ridge.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hurricane-Ridge-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hurricane-Ridge-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hurricane-Ridge-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hurricane Ridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most stunning backdrops in Olympic National Park is Hurricane Ridge.

Needless to say, the area is full of stunning views, with a lot to see and explore. There are also downhill skiing resorts in the area during winter.<\/p>\n<h3>Sol Duc Valley\/Sol Duc Falls<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98327\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98327\" style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98327\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sol-Duc-Valley.jpg\" alt=\"Sol Duc Valley\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sol-Duc-Valley.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sol-Duc-Valley-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sol-Duc-Valley-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sol-Duc-Valley-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98327\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sol Duc Valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Sol Duc Valley is a river valley that offers tranquil scenery amongst a lush green backdrop.

It\u2019s a tourist hot-spot, but one that\u2019s earned its reputation.<\/p>\n<h3>Kalaloch<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98326\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98326\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Driftwood-in-Kalaloch-Beach-in-Washington-coastline-of-the-Pacific-Ocean.jpg\" alt=\"Driftwood in Kalaloch Beach in Washington coastline of the Pacific Ocean\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Driftwood-in-Kalaloch-Beach-in-Washington-coastline-of-the-Pacific-Ocean.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Driftwood-in-Kalaloch-Beach-in-Washington-coastline-of-the-Pacific-Ocean-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Driftwood-in-Kalaloch-Beach-in-Washington-coastline-of-the-Pacific-Ocean-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Driftwood in Kalaloch Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kalaloch is a resort area located on the southwest edge of Olympic, right on the Pacific coast.
