This trail overlooks the northwestern-most point in the contiguous United States.

Waves crashing, wide ocean view ahead. A short trail descends to a viewpoint: boardwalk in places, very muddy in others on a slightly wet February day.

3. The Lavender Connection
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 97 reviews
Our unique farm has over 30 varieties of lavender to view — from light pink to dark purple — with most available for U-cut, making for truly unique lavender bundles. Our farm property also offers exceptional photo opportunities of multi-colored lavender fields and our recently renovated historic barn. We offer complimentary admission all summer long, even during Sequim Lavender Weekend. Visit our quaint store, located in the barn; our boutique products are handmade with lavender essential oil distilled from our own plants. Head to the copper still and watch as we distill the oil and learn about the different uses and kinds of lavender we grow, then stop by the “Essential Oil Bar” to smell many varieties of lavender essential oil, all available for sale. We offer lawn games such as bocce ball and cornhole (for kids and adults), as well as benches and picnic tables throughout the property. We invite you to bring a picnic, a good book, or just your camera, and stay all afternoon!

Visited first thing Sunday morning and met the owners. Fabulous people and the lavender grows are titled so you know the different varieties. This is a family operation and everything is homemade. Great products will definitely come back.

The walk to Second Beach is less than a mile through the woods on a fairly easy up-and-down trail. The challenge is to get over the many, large sun-bleached driftwood logs at the end of the trail. We expected the driftwood but were totally unprepared for the size and number of the logs – not something that can just be stepped over or around – and much too large to sit down and swing the legs over. The climb and balance on the logs is risky, especially for those with health issues or older bones. Unfortunately, we left our better traction shoes in the vehicle. So my suggestion is to wear good traction shoes to get to the beach and then change to beach shoes once the beach is attained. At the beach during low tide (and we were fortunate to travel on a day with a negative low tide), the magic of the beach and tide pools takes over. We marveled at the exposed sea life clinging to the sea stacks – starfish of many colors, sea anemones, and barnacles – a visual delight! Sunny blue skies and tall rocks create shimmering reflections in the water on the beach. And there’s just nothing like the sound of ocean waves. The main parking lot for Second Beach is small, but an overflow lot provides parking for many more cars with a longer walk. We recommend tide pooling at Second Beach for anyone with the physical ability to get past the logs. Truly one of the best experiences of our time at Olympic National Park.

The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge is home to over 250 species of endangered birds, fish and mammals.
Reviewed By TravelingMerm - Monrovia, United States
This is a seriously cool hike and natural wonder to visit if you’re in the area! It contains the largest natural “spit” in the US (Dungeness Spit) at just over 5 miles long! You can walk the entire length of the spit all the way to the lighthouse which is just over 10 miles round trip. For safety, it’s recommended to go during low tide bc at high tide you’ll have to climb over tons of logs which is hazardous and exhausting. Normally the lighthouse is open for tours but it’s closed for now due to Covid. There’s plenty of paved parking and also some decent bathrooms at the trailhead. Normally there’s a $3 entrance fee per group/family, but the day I visited it was free! Once you enter the trail, you walk through the forest for about 15 minutes then the bay view opens up before you! There is a viewing deck to your right before you head down to the shoreline of the spit. The day I visited, it was so clear you could see Mt Rainier looming over the lighthouse in the distance! So cool! Normally you have a choice of path between a slightly (very slightly) shorter, more paved walk or the “primitive trail”, but due to Covid safety measures, it’s a one way walk now so you head out to the refuge on the primitive trail and come back on the other trail. Along the walk, there are some informational signs and lots of gorgeous trees and birds. It’s a lovely, gentle hike for the most part but it does have a small incline at the end down towards the bay. Once you get down on the beach, you can see the bay and Canada our in front of you and then Sequim behind you! It’s a great outing! Highly recommend!

A trail in the Olympic National Forest.
Reviewed By LiveLoveTravelNow
A short hike through the woods and across a creek from the Storm King Ranger Station brings you to these wonderful falls. An early arrival ensures you small crowds and a time to view the falls without feeling rushed. The trail is mostly flat except for the final bit where stairs rise to the falls view platform. Photos are best taken from the viewing platform.

Beach with lots of surf: perfect for surfboarding and kayaking.
Reviewed By goodbadterrible
If you are a beach person one area you should not miss is the Pacific Northwest coast. The beaches are like none other in the United States. Rugged, beautiful and exciting. This area offers a series of unusual and beautiful beaches from the numbered beaches to the Rialto beach. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area I highly recommend the Quileute Oceanside Resort in La Push. They have a motel, cabins on the beach and an RV park for various prices. They are also dog-friendly and have separate cabins available if you have a dog. A wonderful place to stay. The beach in La Push is also a popular surfing beach where surfers do their stuff from early morning till dark. Very interesting to watch. There is also an excellent restaurant in La Push called the River's Edge Restuarant where they serve excellent food and the best clam chowder I have tasted.
