What to expect

Honest take: November is not the month for Olympic. Early fall is still lovely. Rain returns in October, mushrooms appear and salmon run up the rivers.

Local tip

The park is a giant loop with no road through the middle, so plan at least three days and base yourself on different sides.

Good to know

  • Best months overall: Jul–Sep.
  • Closest airport: Seattle–Tacoma (SEA), about 2.5–3 hours.
  • Before you go: Check tide tables before coastal hikes; some headlands can only be passed at low tide. Check current conditions on nps.gov.
