Olympic Park – Easy to reach

It is not as much as difficult to reach the Olympic National Park & Olympic Peninsula. It is just nearby Seattle, Washington, and the distance is just an hour journey. The fastest and best way is through ferries from Bremerton from Seattle, otherwise you can travel the ride from north side of Seattle town of Edmonds all the way to Kingston, and the journey is very picturesque. The journey lasts for an hour.

It is also possible to travel through the south most tilt of Puget Sound positioned at Tacoma. You can continue the journey on the north side on the cape. Traveling through this route will take some extra miles and time.

The residents of the Olympic cape are very meager. The majority of the inhabitants live in northern and eastern coast villages.

Fork is the only large town, and the location is west side of the cape. You can get range of accommodations in Port Angeles and Port Townsend.

This is a wonderland for hikers and backpackers

At the very northwestern tip of the peninsula, you can see the Makah Indian Reservation, which occupies more than a mile square area. Even now it is possible to see some of the last Native Americans who continue to hunt whales with wooden harpoons from open canoes.

You can see an interesting museum that illustrates the history and culture of Makah Indians in Makah cultural center. Olympic National Park is really a gift for backpackers and hikers, with its 600 miles of trails. Most of the land is tremendously uneven and wild.
