2Olympic National Park, Washington
The Olympic National Park is largely a lush, vibrant green rainforest. The floor of which is, as the touring twosome confirm, “thickly blanketed with moss and ferns.” They describe the locale as both “magnificent” and “enchanting.”
There are several hiking trails that run ‘round the ancient rainforests and wind their way along the primitive Pacific coastline, which is pleasantly punctuated by several sea stacks. Lovely Lake Crescent is perhaps one of the popular Olympic Peninsula’s most memorable landmarks.
It is famous for its bounty of fish and beautiful blue water. You can rent a boat here or even take a dip if you’re so inclined. Mind you, they could be a bit chilly. If so, worry not as there are comfy hot springs nearby.
If you’re a climber, you can’t miss the great glacier-clad Mount Olympus. Into photography? The Hahnels say the best places to take pictures here are Ruby Beach, Sol Duc Falls, and the Hoh Rain Forest.
