Lake Crescent is the centerpiece of the itinerary with a 2-3 mile guided hike to Marymere Falls and surrounding trails immersed in old-growth forests.

About the Tour
Our most popular tour each year is our Hoh Rain Forest and Rialto Beach Group Tour, and for good reason! After a scenic two-hour drive around Lake Crescent, through Forks, and deep into the Hoh Rain Forest, our guests typically have two full hours to explore the mossy, magical trails amongst towering old-growth evergreens within the Hoh. After departing the rain forest and a scheduled stop in Forks, we take advantage of our western location and make the 20-minute one-way driving detour to Rialto Beach along the Pacific Coast. Upon arrival, we generally have one or two hours to hike and explore the Olympic Wilderness Coast at Rialto Beach alongside massive sea-stacks and driftwood logs.

About the Tour
This 9 Hour Guided Tour combines three unique ecosystems of Olympic National Park into one action-packed day-trip.

After the Sol Duc, Lake Crescent offers stunning lakeside views and moss-laden trails to Marymere Falls. And finally, in the afternoon, our tour group will enjoy a 5,000 foot, 17-mile headstart by exploring subalpine trails from the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center in the Olympic Mountains.

Holiday Break
Private tours only: November 1, 2024 - January 1, 2025
After a busy summer season and a 10 month operating calendar, Olympic Hiking Co. takes a 2-month “holiday” break from pre-scheduled group tours. This allows our employees to prioritize spending quality time with family, friends, and loved ones during a special time of year. It also allows our Operations Team to publish the following year tour calendar, which is generally posted by Thanksgiving of each year.
If you are looking to explore Olympic National Park during this timeframe, you can learn more about our year-round private guided tour options here!
