#1 - Mount Storm King

•Hard

•4.1 mi

Mount Storm King is one of the most popular trails at Lake Crescent. Even with its popularity, it does come with some serious considerations before hiking. The trail climbs steeply the first 2 miles to an "End of Maintained Trail" sign. Olympic National Park does not maintain the trail above this point. The last 1/4 mile involves a steep rocky trail with a series of ropes. These ropes can only be used by one person at a time and help hikers ascend and descend this steeper section. The...

#2 - Hurricane Hill via Hurricane Ridge

Located at the end of Hurricane Ridge Road in the Olympic Mountains, the Hurricane Hill Trail is an incredible hike to a fantastic viewpoint. The trailhead starts 1.5 miles beyond the Hurricane Ridge Visitor's Center in Olympic National Park. This paved trail climbs to a panoramic view of the Olympic Range, Puget Sound, and Vancouver Island. As one of the most easily accessible locations in the Olympic Peninsula (under an hour from Port Angeles), this day hike is a popular option for...

#3 - Marymere Falls Trail from Lake Crescent Lodge

This trip is about half a mile above the Marymere Falls Loop. It has two more views of the marymere fall and an additional water fall that you see at the end of the secret falls loop.

#4 - Lake Angeles Trail

Lake Angeles is a stunning alpine lake in the Olympic Mountains surrounded by lush montane and subalpine forests. The trail begins at the Heart O' the Hills Trailhead, next to Lake Dawn. It takes you to Lake Angeles Campground and Lake Angeles. The terrain on the path features a steady incline with some steeper sections towards the lake. The trail is well maintained, with good shade and amazing views.

#5 - Mount Angeles via Hurricane Ridge Trail

•Hard

•5.6 mi

Do not attempt to summit Mt. Angeles without proper equipment and experience. Scrambling and route-finding skills are needed to access the summit. After fork from ridge trail, trail steepens. Good stamina required. As you approach cliff, loose scree makes it tougher. Keeping left is important. Avoid the temptation to go straight up. As you get closer, becomes steep 3rd class. Should not be attempted without proper boots. The last pitch is pushing the definition of 3rd class, as there is...

#6 - Sunrise View Point via High Ridge Nature Trail

This trail is a quick climb on a well maintained trail. The viewpoint provides great views of British Columbia, the water and the surrounding mountains. This trail has a great payoff for how easy of a hike it is. Beautiful views, deer, and marmot. Hurricane Ridge Road is subject to seasonal closure during the winter.

#8 - Moments in Time Trail

This self-guided Nature Trail begins at Lake Crescent Lodge and is a flat 0.6 mile (1km) loop through lakeside forest. Numerous trail-side signs tell the story of Lake Crescent's natural and cultural history. With gorgeous views and plenty for the kids to see, this quick loop has something for the whole family.

#9 - Ancient Groves Nature Trail

Right off of Sol Duc Hot Springs Rd, this small but lovely loop guides you through old-growth forests in the lowlands. These massive trunks are older than 200 years and many species depend on the forest for their food and protection. There is only around 5% original lowland left which is why it is so important to protect places like these in Olympic National Park.

#10 - Heart O' the Forest Trail

This out and back route is a lovely, level trek through the lush forest. It starts at Loop E in the Heart O' the Hills campground. Plenty of wildflowers, mushrooms, and wildlife along the way!

Bathrooms availableGreat conditionsGreat views

This is a hard trail that is totally worth. It is 100% switchbacks all the way up 2000 ft gain. The hardest part is probably the ropes. But it’s totally worth it beautiful views people are helpful and patient. No dogs allowed and no way that you would be able to bring yours.

Ignore the mileage- forgot to turn it off after getting in the car. Made the mistake of bringing my dog! No dogs allowed! There was a 3 mile loop of road closed off for cars- still a beautiful walk. Saw a bear, baby deer, woodchucks.

Easy to parkNot crowdedGreat conditionsGreat views

A gradual incline with limited views until the summit… but oh is it worth it! The lake is beautiful and a great place for lunch and a dip on a nice day (60 and sunny and a little chilly after a dip, but doable and worth it)! It only took ~1-1.5 hours to get to the summit and 1 hour back, so no more than 3 hour total hiking. Definitely take your time to enjoy the views and the sun on a nice day. It wasn’t too busy and parking was easy! No dogs or bathrooms on site and right before the park entrance so no need for a park pass.
