Stop At: Marymere Falls, Lake Crescent Rd Olympic National Forest, Port Angeles, WA 98363
Because of development, very few temperate rainforests outside of Olympic National Park exist along this stretch today. In Olympic, temperatures rarely drop below freezing or go above 80F, enabling an incredibly unique ecosystem to grow. Mosses, ferns, Douglas fir, red alders, Western hemlocks and Sitka spruce thrive in temperate rainforests, as do epiphytes, which are plants growing on other plants. Cat-tail moss and licorice ferns are two types of epiphytes you will find in Olympic.

Other than the group of stray community cats that roam the area, you are more than likely to find seals and peeks of orcas in the distance. Additionally, there is an abundance of different types of birds. At the very end of Ediz Hook there is a U.S. Coast Guard Station responsible for search and rescue, homeland security, and environmental maintenance.


Duration: 30 minutes

Highly recommend for those who doesn’t want to drive and set up travel plan. I went with friends and we only have as little as 6 people for the entire tour. My guide was very friendly and was able to take good care of everyone! Love the hotel and five stars for the price!

On the first day, I merged with about 50 people. The next day was much better with about 11 people in attendance. On the first day, we waited for a long time because of the large number of people. The second day was also very tight because someone had a flight to catch. Because there are so many people, it took a lot of time to get on and off the bus. I didn't expect that the two days would be split up and go to different groups, and I didn't expect that there would be so many people. If I had known that the itinerary was arranged like this, I would not have signed up, because the quality is not good. The tour guide is also rude. I was resting in the car with my eyes closed, and when he was about to broadcast, he used the microphone and said, "The person sitting in front of me is already asleep, it’s not okay." I felt very offended. I gave one star, because the nature and the place were so beautiful, but again, time is spent waiting for people, and there will not be enough time to enjoy the scenery and view.
