The Olympic National Forest & Parks offer over two million acres of
land for visitors to enjoy. These pristine lands include scenic
roads, hiking trails, skiing, boating, and fishing. Two highlights
are Hurricane Ridge and the Hoh Rain Forest.
Hurricane Ridge enables one to gain a wonderful perspective of the
Olympic Peninsula. From 5,230 feet above sea level, open ridges
provide wide views of the surrounding peaks, glaciers and the Strait
of Juan de Fuca. Great hiking, spectacular views and skiing in
winter.
Dungeness Spit and Lighthouse is a marine wildlife refuge. The spit
was formed by eroding soil, wind, and water currents. It stretches 5
½ miles out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It breaks the rough sea
waves to form a quiet bay, gravel beaches and tidal flats. Tours of
the lighthouse are available. And the hiking is beautiful.
Olympic Game Farm - We highly recommend this treat it is a "must
see" attraction in north Sequim. There are over 200 animals,
including grizzly bears, buffalo, elk, tigers, timber wolves,
llama's, deer, zebras, and yaks. Visitors can drive throughout the
farm to see and feed animals out of your hand.
Olympic Music Festival features music performed by world-class
musicians in a turn-of-the-century barn on Washington's Olympic
Peninsula. It runs every Saturday and Sunday at 2PM running from
late June through Mid September This a fun day and a one of a kind
experience. Be sure to pack a picnic lunch to eat at one of the
many picnic tables and take some carrots to feed the donkeys. (206)
