Where to Base
Where to base near Olympic
Olympic's north-side trips run out of Port Angeles — the ferry hub for Victoria BC, with the closest access to Hurricane Ridge and the park's visitor center. Sequim, 18 miles east, gets 300+ days of sun a year (sitting in the rain shadow of the Olympics) and is the drier alternative base for travelers willing to trade the downtown walk for lower prices and a quieter stay. Open a town for its lodging, services, and how it sets up the next morning's drive into the park.
