EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Rex Wilson

Congratulations! You’ve reached one of the most enchanting and diverse regions on Earth!

Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a returning visitor or a new resident of the North Olympic Peninsula, you’ll find our coastlines, our mountains, our towns, valleys and historical sites breathtaking and memory-making.

This North Olympic Peninsula Guide is divided into sections designed to give you a flavor of each of our towns or regions: Port Townsend and Jefferson County, Sequim and the Dungeness Valley, Port Angeles and Joyce, Forks and the West End, the North/West Coast and, just across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Victoria, British Columbia.

You’ll also find important information about Olympic National Park, the Elwha River dam removals and the “Twilight” phenomenon.

Included in this guide is a wealth of information about the goods, services and activities available on the Peninsula.

We combine all the adventures of wilderness recreation with the comforts of a premiere resort destination.

While you’re here, we encourage you to read the Peninsula Daily News, the newspaper of the North Olympic Peninsula.

It not only has news about the region and the world, but it contains updated information about community events throughout the year.

The PDN’s weekend roundup appears Fridays, and a daily list of “Things to Do” can be found by logging onto the PDN website at www. peninsuladailynews.com.

The Peninsula Daily News is available throughout Clallam and Jefferson counties. Once you leave this area, you can keep in touch by regularly checking out the website and subscribing to our e-edition.

Welcome to the wonderland of the North Olympic Peninsula.

top 7 experiences A trip to the North Olympic Peninsula is incomplete without seeing these sights!

>> Second Beach Second Beach is a relatively easy hike near LaPush that rewards you with ocean views, seastacks and a walk through coastal forest.

At 0.7-mile, it is a “happy medium� between the roadside First Beach and the longer trek of Third Beach. It is best hiked April through October. >> See Page 104 Spring/Summer 2013

>> Hurricane Ridge At an elevation of 5,242 feet, Hurricane Ridge is one of the Olympic Peninsula’s biggest attractions.

In the summer, visitors enjoy spectacular views of the national park and hikes through the forest and mountains. In the winter, the area turns into a skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding destination. >> See Page 54

>> Dungeness Spit The Dungeness Spit is the largest natural sand hook in the nation. The vast sandy beach, inhabited by assorted waterfowl and critters, rarely seems crowded.

At the end of the 5-mile spit is the New Dungeness Lighthouse, where you can even serve as a lighthouse keeper for a week. >> See Page 42

>> Hoh Rain Forest The Hoh Rain Forest receives 12 to 14 feet of precipitation each year, resulting in a lush, green canopy of coniferous and deciduous trees and a blanket of ferns and mosses. The temperate rain forest is about an hour from Forks.

Easy hikes that begin near the Hoh Rain Forest’s visitor center wind through the primeval wilderness. >> See Page 104 8 NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA GUIDE u

Spring/Summer 2013

>> Point Wilson Perched on the northeastern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, Point Wilson at Fort Worden State Park is the perfect place to catch the sunrise as the first rays hit the ground.

The park rests on a high bluff overlooking the Salish Sea. Numerous beach trails can be found throughout the park.

The Point Wilson Light Station has been closed to the public since its automation in 1976, but visitors still can walk around the area. >> See Page 20

>> Cape Flattery Cape Flattery is the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States. It can be reached via a 3/4-mile hike along a picturesque trail that is mostly boardwalk.

From Cape Flattery, you can view the automated lighthouse on Tatoosh Island. >> See Page 96

>> Mount Walker Mount Walker, the easternmost summit of the Olympic Mountains, offers one of the most fantastic views of Mount Rainier and Puget Sound.

Depending on weather conditions, visitors can drive a steep and winding road to the twin viewpoints or park at the base for a two-mile hike. >> See Page 24 Spring/Summer 2013

THE FLAVORS OF THE PENINSULA DIVERSE CULINARY OPTIONS For a small region, the North Olympic Peninsula offers an amazing array of foods, and a high standard of both cooking and presentation.

Some of the Peninsula’s specialty dishes highlight the region’s plentiful seafood.

Delicious berries, fresh-fromthe-farm produce and handcrafted cheeses are highlighted by excellent locally produced wines and ales.

A variety of festivals celebrate the bounty of the Peninsula throughout the year.

To learn more about some of the festivals, turn to the Calendar of Events on Page 119.

FISH AND SEAFOOD The abundance of fresh fish and seafood from the Pacific Ocean and the area’s many rivers are a delicious delight on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Locally caught fish such as salmon and halibut are staples on many restaurant menus. Be sure to ask your waiter about the “catch of the day,” which is caught the same day it is served. Cedar- or aldersmoked salmon are a special treat at restaurants across the region.

Seafood and shellfish also are plentiful across the Peninsula.

Mussels, oysters, razor and butter clams, shrimp and highly soughtafter geoducks are seasonal staples of many menus.

The quaint town of Brinnon lures hungry shrimpers from throughout the Northwest to fish the waters around Hood Canal during the fourth weekend in May for the annual Brinnon ShrimpFest.

This weekend-long celebration celebrates shrimp and other local seafood with plenty of opportunities to sample fresh-off-the boat dishes.

One tasty crustacean — the Dungeness crab — is a popular delicacy, and is the most commercially important crab in the Pacific Northwest. The annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival is held in Port Angeles each October. The crab receives its name from the community of Dungeness, which is located approximately 5 miles north of Sequim and 15 miles east of Port Angeles.

BERRIES AND PRODUCE The Olympic Peninsula is known throughout the Northwest for its scrumptious berries and fresh produce.

The Dungeness Valley is one of the most fertile areas to grow berries ranging from strawberries, marionberries and raspberries to blueberries and loganberries.

The entire Peninsula is known for its blackberries, which grow along roadsides, in backyards and pretty much everywhere else. Blackberries take center stage at the Joyce Daze Blackberry Festival, held the first Saturday in August in the town of Joyce. (For more festival information, turn to Page 86.)

Farmers markets are offered throughout the year on the North Olympic Peninsula. But in the spring, summer and early fall, community markets burst at the seams with garden-fresh goodies.

The North Olympic Peninsula is home to a number of family-owned and operated farms, organic farms and farm stores.

DON’T FORGET A DRINK The North Olympic Peninsula is home to several wineries, cideries and breweries that have made names for themselves.

All are family owned and operated, and each has unique personality and character.

Most of the Peninsula’s wineries are small and produce fewer than 2,000 cases a year.

Throughout the year, many host popular events that pair the wines with chocolate, cheese and other delectable treats.

An upcoming event is the Olympic Peninsula Wineries Association’s Harvest Winery Tour, which takes place Nov. 9 and 10.

For more on the Peninsula wineries and cideries, turn to Page 88.

If you can’t make it to the individual wineries, cideries and breweries for samples, local wine sellers and restaurants carry many of the Peninsula labels.

And don’t forget the coffee. Northwesterners love a warm cup of joe and you will find coffee shops and driveup stands scattered across the North Olympic Peninsula.

COMMEMORATIVE PIN

Olympic National Park, with its 922,651 acres and three distinctly different ecosystems, is the most visited National Park Service site in Washington.

This year, the park celebrates its 75th anniversary, an event that will be commemorated with several events organized by park officials.

Details are available online at nps.gov/ olym/planyourvisit/75thanniversary.htm.

The land in the park first received federal protection in 1897, when President Grover Cleveland designated the Olympic Forest Reserve in response to concern about the area’s disappearing forests.

In 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt designated a part of the reserve as Mount Olympus National Monument to protect the habitat of Roosevelt elk, whose population was in steep decline.

In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt visited the Olympic Peninsula and added his support to establishment of a national park.

The following year, on June 29, 1938, he signed the bill establishing Olympic National Park.

Limited-edition pins featuring Olympic National Park’s 75th anniversary logo are available at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center at 3002 Mount Angeles Road in Port Angeles and the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center south of Forks.

The logo highlights the park’s best-known features: glacier-capped mountains, primeval forest, rivers and the rugged Pacific Coast.

elwha dams

history lesson In the early 1900s, entrepreneur Thomas Aldwell sought to harness the energy of the Elwha River and spearheaded construction of the hydroelectric Elwha Dam, which was completed in 1913.

The growing economy soon led to the decision to build a second dam — Glines Canyon Dam, completed in 1927.

The two dams blocked much of the 70-mile Elwha River, which had one of the most productive salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest. Spawning runs were reduced from 400,000 fish before the dams were completed to only 3,000.

In 1992, Congress passed the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act, which called for full restoration of the ecosystem and fisheries.

An environmental impact statement examined several options for achieving full restoration, but concluded that removal of both dams was the only way to achieve it.

Tear-down of the dams began in September 2011 and is expected to be completed by 2014.

Spring/Summer 2013

ELWHA RIVER RESTORATION PROJECT Teardown of the 108-foot Elwha Dam and the 210-foot Glines Canyon Dam is the largest dam removal project in the world’s history.

Elwha Dam already has been removed and Glines Canyon is expected to be completely removed by 2014.

The process is part of the Elwha River Restoration Project, which will allow the Elwha River to flow through its native channel for the first time in more than 100 years and allow salmon to migrate upstream to spawn in the nutrient-rich habitat.

Much of the fine sediment that had built up in the dams’ reservoirs,

named Lake Aldwell and Lake Mills, has been released by the removal process and is changing the shape of the river.

You can view the changing river at several locations:

LOWER ELWHA KLALLAM TRIBAL CENTER At the tribal center off Lower Elwha Road, walk the 0.7-mile Warrior Path loop to the Elwha River estuary.

ELWHA RIVER BRIDGE Cross the double-deck Elwha River Road bridge to get a bird’s-eye view of the river.

Take U.S. Highway 101 to Laird Road and turn onto Elwha River Road.

ELWHA DAM VIEWPOINT A short trail leads to an overlook at the former Elwha Dam site. The parking area is off Lower Dam Road, via state Highway 112.

ELWHA RIVER VIEWPOINT Observe the changing landscape where the river flows through the site of the former Lake Aldwell reservoir. A turnoff is found off Highway 101 just west of Port Angeles.

ELWHA VALLEY See the spectacular Elwha Valley area of Olympic National Park and watch the changing river.

Turn onto Olympic Hot Springs Road off Highway 101.

port townsend

history lesson Port Townsend sits on the tip of the Quimper Peninsula, surrounded by the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and Puget Sound to the east.

At the turn of the 20th century, Port Townsend was a bustling seaport, and many elegant buildings lined the waterfront.

It was known as the “City of Dreams” because of early speculation that it would be the largest harbor on the West Coast.

Originally named “Port Townshend”

by Capt. George Vancouver in 1792, it was found to be a good, safe harbor.

The city was officially settled in 1851.

Port Townsend’s past is kept alive as the city is full of Victorian houses and buildings that have been restored. Many of the old homes have been redesigned as bed-and-breakfast establishments.

The Port Townsend Historic District, which includes many Victorian era buildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and was also declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.

THINGS TO SEE

in Port Townsend

Nearly two dozen parks dot Port Townsend. The showpiece is Chetzemoka Park at Jackson and Blaine streets. Named in honor of the Klallam chief Chetzemoka, friend of the pioneers, the park overlooks Admiralty Inlet.

Downtown, visitors may feel as though the main thoroughfare, Water Street, came out of an old-fashioned movie. But it is filled with art galleries, chic clothing boutiques, antique shops and other speciality stores.

Be sure to check out the seaside restaurants and cafés, where you can relax and watch kayakers paddling by or sailboats catching the breeze.

The Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., was built in 1891 in the Romanesque style.

It includes the Hall of Honor, which is sponsored by the Jefferson County Historical Society to honor the county’s early pioneers.

Spring/Summer 2013

With the original buildings being restored for use as a park and educational and entertainment facilities, Fort Worden State Park offers insight into Port Townsend’s military history.

Located along Admiralty Inlet, it features scenic beach trails and the Point Wilson Light Station. The light station helps guide ships past the famous riptides off Point Wilson, where the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound meet.

It is also the site of the Port Townsend Marine Science Center.

To get to Fort Worden, turn onto Kearney Street from state Highway 20. Turn right on Blaine Street, left on Cherry Street and follow the signs.

Port Townsend’s maritime culture thrives year-round. View the boats docked at Port Townsend Boat Haven, located west of downtown as you make your way into Port Townsend, and Point Hudson Marina, adjacent to the Northwest Maritime Center downtown.

QUILCENE & BRINNON Nestled like two jewels between the calm waters of Hood Canal and Olympic National Forest are Quilcene and Brinnon.

From two viewpoints at Mount Walker, the easternmost summit of the Olympic Mountains, you can look out over the Puget Sound and Seattle skyline.

Access is off Mount Walker Viewpoint Road, which is located 5 miles south of Quilcene off U.S. Highway 101. The 4-mile road toward the summit is unpaved and winding, and the road is closed seasonally.

Quilcene Bay on Hood Canal is shallow enough that in summer, the water sometimes warms sufficiently enough to provide enjoyable swimming. If you’re lucky, a curious harbor seal might join you.

Hear chamber music in a turn-ofthe-century dairy farm every Saturday and Sunday from late June through Labor Day at the Olympic Music Festival (7360 Center Road,

Quilcene, olympicmusicfestival.org) Brinnon lies south of Quilcene near the Duckabush and Dosewallips rivers.

Harbor seals can often be seen near Seal Rock, two miles north of town.

Oyster-gathering opportunities on the beach, especially at low tide, are said to be excellent Falls View Falls is a seasonal waterfall located at Falls View Campground between Quilcene and Brinnon.

A short, easy trail begins in the south loop (left side) of the campground. It is best viewed in autumn through spring as it can dry up during summer.

Hood Canal is easily the most popular shrimping destination, although areas typically have short seasons.

Consult wdfw.wa.gov for details and regulations before heading out.

TRI-AREA & PORT LUDLOW

Fort Flagler State Park

The crossroads of Port Hadlock, Chimacum and Irondale comprise the Tri-Area of Jefferson County.

They are the gateway to Marrowstone Island. Located at the northern tip of the island is Fort Flagler State Park.

The historical turn-of-the-century Army base features barracks, officers’ quarters and a hospital that were used in World War I and World War II. A favorite features that can be toured: the nine former gun batteries atop the bluff.

Chimacum is known for its dairy farms spreading across Chimacum Valley.

H.J. Carroll Park, off state Highway 19, is a county park that offers a playground, BMX track, disc golf course and other amenities.

Some bookworm trivia: A road off state Highway 19 is named “Egg and I Road” after Betty MacDonald’s 1945 memoir, The Egg and I. The book told about her experiences living on

Stop by the Chimacum Corner Farmstand (9122 Rhody Drive, 360732-0107, chimacumcorner.com), a small rural grocery store that features locally grown or produced food.

Port Ludlow is a residential and recreational community built up around the shores of Ludlow Bay. The natural environment and developed facilities offer hikes on wooded trails and paths, digs for clams and oysters along the beach, drives through scenic countryside, bicycling and jogging.

The Port Ludlow Golf Course, 751 Highland Drive, features two 9-hole courses for two different games.

For water lovers, there is a marina as well as boat launches for sailing, power boating, fishing, windsurfing and kayaking.

EXPLORE JEFFERSON COUNTY MARITIME CULTURE With salt water adorning the Quimper Peninsula on three sides, Jefferson County’s maritime culture thrives all year.

The Northwest Maritime Center, 431 Water St., (360-385-3628, nwmaritime.org), was created to nurture the maritime legacy of Puget Sound for present and future generations.

It’s situated between historic downtown Port Townsend and Point Hudson Marina and holds year-round activities to connect people, boats and the sea, from sailing and rowing to family boat building.

Port Hadlock is home to the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding (360-385-4948, nwboatschool.org), locally known as “The Boat School.”

The school’s mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts associated with fine wooden boatbuilding and other maritime crafts.

Northwest Maritime Center seen through the Salish Sea Circle sculpture TRANQUIL BAY Discovery Bay is an ideal place to take a rest from the road, stay overnight or just get away from the faster pace of living.

It is located off U.S. Highway 101 and state Highway 20. The Port of Port Townsend owns a public recreational boat launch off Gardiner Beach Road that provides access to the bay.

While kayakers sometimes paddle along the shoreline, the bay is typically quiet.

British explorer Capt. George Vancouver found Discovery Bay in 1792 and named the body of water after his flagship, HMS Discovery.

After a sawmill was built in 1853, boats carried wood in and out of the bay. The old mill is no longer standing.

SHELLFISHING The best oyster beaches are along Hood Canal.

Quilcene Bay on Hood Canal is known for producing some of the Northwest’s most delicious oysters.

To the south in Brinnon, oyster-gathering opportunities are also said to be excellent.

Seafood lovers know that beneath the pebbles and sand of the shore along day-use Wolfe Property State Park, about a half-mile north of the Hood Canal Bridge, are mussels, steamer clams, geoducks and rock clams.

Most beaches will have rules and identification guides clearly posted along with emergency rule changes. Check wdfw.wa.gov for regulations.

Spring/Summer 2013

GETTING HERE: Most visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula cross the Hood Canal Bridge, the longest floating bridge over salt water in the world at 7,869 feet (6,521 feet of it floating). The bridge connects the Kitsap Peninsula to the Olympic Peninsula along state Highway 104.

Note that the bridge opens for marine vessels that are too large or tall to pass underneath its trusses. Vessel openings — which can take about 30 minutes to complete — are not announced in advance. Phone 5-1-1 for current traffic information.

sequim

history lesson Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”) and the Dungeness Valley are known for their mild and sunny climate. The area sits in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and gets only about 17 inches of rain each year.

The first European settlers arrived in the Dungeness Valley in the 1850s, settling nearby New Dungeness.

However, the Klallam tribe had inhabited the region long before their arrival.

In 1874, when Native American tribes were being pressured to move to reservations, several groups of Klallams raised enough money to purchase land north of Sequim, which was the beginning of what would become the Jamestown S’Klallam community.

While the lands along Dungeness River became fertile farmlands, the remainder of the area remained an arid prairie.

Irrigation canals brought water to the prairie area in the 1890s, allowing for the expansion of farmlands. This innovation is celebrated each May with the Sequim Irrigation Festival, the oldest continuing festival in Washington.

THINGS TO SEE

in Sequim

The 1892-built Dungeness Schoolhouse, 2781 Towne Road, was a public school until 1955.

The two-story landmark is owned and operated by the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, which also operates the MAC Exhibit Center (175 W. Cedar St., macsequim.org) The MAC Exhibit Center features monthly changing art exhibits and rotating local history exhibits.

Film legend John Wayne frequently sailed the Sequim Bay waters with his yacht Wild Goose and believed it would be a great location for a marina.

Fulfilling that desire, John Wayne Marina was constructed on 22 acres of land donated by The Duke. The picturesque marina is the perfect setting for a picnic or relaxed walk.

The marina is accessible from U.S. Highway 101 east of Sequim. Turn north on Whitefeather Way and follow the signs.

At Railroad Bridge Park, the swift waters of the Dungeness River flow beneath a former train trestle while paths explore the riverbank.

A wheelchair-accessible ramp leads up to the bridge, which crosses the river and becomes a paved path that passes scenic meadows and a few homes before linking with the Olympic Discovery Trail.

The park is home to the Dungeness River Audubon Center (2151 W. Hendrickson Road, 360-681-4076, dungenessrivercenter.org), a center to learn about wildlife, the natural world and birding activities.

The park is located two miles west of central Sequim. Follow Fifth Avenue north and travel west on Hendrickson Road to the park.

Enjoy a picnic at Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Road, and feed the ducks swimming in the pond.

Children will enjoy the playground area, skateboard park and BMX track.

You can even let your dog run around for a bit at the off-leash dog park that is located on the east side of the park.

The park hosts outdoor concert series throughout the summer.

CATCH CRABS Crab harvesting is typically best in Sequim and Dungeness bays, but you can also find Dungeness and red rock crabs elsewhere along the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Townsend to Neah Bay. Many people enjoy wading for crabs at low tide at Dungeness Bay and Pillar Point out in Clallam Bay, while others go for the use of crab pots and ring traps.

For crab seasons, check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations pamphlet.

EQUIM LAVENDER WEEKEND Bed & Breakfasts

35765414

Clark’s Chambers Bed & Breakfast Inn

Sequim has an ideal climate for growing lavender and has received worldwide recognition for producing lavender of exquisite fragrance and superior quality.

It has also trademarked itself as the Lavender Capital of North America — and for good reason.

Nearly 30,000 people flock to Sequim each July to celebrate the fragrant herb and wander around the breathtaking lavender fields.

Sequim is bursting with activity during Lavender Weekend, a threeday celebration of everything lavender, July 19-21.

Two events make up Lavender Weekend: The Sequim Lavender Festival (lavenderfestival.com) which will mark its 17th year, and the Sequim Lavender Farm Faire (sequimlavender.org), now in its third year.

The Sequim Lavender Festival features a free, self-guided farm tour that offers access to six working lavender farms and a vibrant street fair located downtown on Fir Street between Sequim and Third avenues.

The street fair includes music and colorful booths featuring artwork and crafts from more than 150 vendors from across the Northwest.

The street fair is an opportunity to experience the many varieties of lavender, including culinary offerings that feature the herb.

Admission to the street fair is free.

A PIONEER FAMILY FARMHOUSE

The oldest family owned farm in Washington State.

Breakfast is served family style.

Farm tour tickets for the faire provide unlimited admission to all seven farms as well as bus service.

Advance tickets are $10 per person until July 18 and $15 per person after that date. Children 12 and younger are free.

DUNGENESS SPIT Enjoy the astounding beauty of the

OLYMPIC PENINSULA with all the comforts of home

The Dungeness Spit has become a prime destination for North Olympic Peninsula visitors. And it’s no wonder with its gorgeous views and vast, sandy beach.

At about 5 miles long, the spit is the largest natural sand hook in the nation.

The sandy hook forms Dungeness Bay, home to the famous crab of the same name.

Much of the spit and part of the bay are in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, a prime nesting ground for waterfowl and home to land and marine animals.

At the end of the Dungeness Spit is

the New Dungeness Lighthouse.

Built in 1857, it is the oldest beacon north of the Columbia River.

The trek to and from the lighthouse is an 11-mile roundtrip hike along a mostly flat beach — but the trip is well worth the effort.

Access to the spit is limited between sunrise and sunset, and be sure you schedule your hike during low tides.

The lighthouse is open to visitors daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

You can also go for a stroll or picnic on the bluffs of the Dungeness Recreation Area. An easy half-mile trail takes visitors to an overlook above Dungeness Spit.

>> How to Get There Take U.S. Highway 101 west from Sequim and turn north on Kitchen-Dick Road. Continue 3 miles to Dungeness Recreation Area and drive through to the refuge parking lot.

A single-day $3 permit per family is required to help pay for conservation efforts. There is no charge for children younger than 16.

Pets, bicycles and campfires are prohibited on the refuge. Hours are daily from sunrise to sunset.

SEQUIM AT A SLOWER PACE BIKE RIDING For scenic mountain biking beauty, it’s hard to beat the Dungeness Valley.

For those with youngsters who want to get them interested in bicycling, try Robin Hill Farm County Park, which offers a nice little trail for beginners and families. The park is off Dryke Road between Sequim and Port Angeles.

Another spot is Burnt Hill Road, accessible from Happy Valley Road.

The 4-mile climb is a fantastic trail for the bike enthusiast.

For a fun ride with other cyclists, sign up for the Olympic Bike Adventure (360-417-4557, olympicbikeadventure. com) on Sept. 15.

The 25-mile trek covers the Olympic Discovery Trail from Port Angeles to the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center on Sequim Bay.

Robin Hill Farm County Park COUNTRY DRIVES Driving through the Dungeness Valley brings the diverse agricultural history of the area into focus. Old Olympic Highway offers a pretty, quiet country drive for those who want to escape U.S. Highway 101.

It is accessible from Highway 101 as well as many Sequim streets.

The road meanders past farms and eventually hooks up with Marine Drive, which gives you breathtaking views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Dungeness Spit and Cline Spit.

Barn off Old Olympic Highway BERRY PICKING What better way to enjoy the summer weather and get some delicious snacks than by going berry picking?

A handful of “U-pick” berry farms offer families the opportunity to pick and enjoy delicious berries, from strawberries in June and raspberries in July, to blueberries and blackberries in August.

Graysmarsh Farm (6187 Woodcock Road, 360-683-5563) grows strawberries, raspberries, loganberries, blackberries and blueberries.

U-pick is typically open from June through September.

Cameron Strawberry Farm, 899 W. Hendrickson Road, is another popular site to pick fresh, juicy strawberries.

port angeles history lesson Port Angeles is the county seat of Clallam County and the largest city on the North Olympic Peninsula.

It sits between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains on a natural deepwater harbor, which was originally named “Puerto de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles” (or “Port of Our Lady of the Angels”) in 1791 by Spanish explorer Don Francisco de Eliza. This was eventually shortened into its current name, Port Angeles Harbor.

However, long before Don Francisco came across the region, the area was home to Klallam tribes and two major Klallam villages, I’e’nis and Tse-whit-zen.

Port Angeles was established as a townsite by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 by executive order. The Board of Trade in 1890 called Port Angeles the “Second National City,” with Washington, D.C., being the first.

In 1887, the utopian Puget Sound Co-Operative Colony settled in Port Angeles and population steadily grew.

While the colony did not last long, it played a major role in the development of Port Angeles.

THINGS TO SEE

in Port Angeles

Ediz Hook is a natural sand spit that juts into the Strait of Juan de Fuca to form Port Angeles’ deepwater harbor.

It is an ideal spot from which to view the city and the Olympic Mountains rising in the background. Kayakers can often be spotted off in the waters.

Access is via Marine Drive, which passes through the Nippon Paper Industries USA paper mill. It’s only a few minutes drive from downtown Port Angeles.

City Pier, at the foot of Lincoln Street, features an observation tower, promenade deck, picnic area and short-term moorage for small boats.

A stroll along the adjacent Hollywood Beach or Waterfront Trail might be the ticket to end your day.

The pier area also includes the Feiro Marine Life Center, a marine laboratory open to the public.

Port Angeles Fine Arts Center (1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., 360-4174590, pafac.org) devotes 1,300 square feet to visual arts exhibitions.

A popular attraction of the Fine Arts Center is Webster’s Woods, an outdoor art garden spread across the woods surrounding the gallery.

The center is open Thursday to Sunday. Webster’s Woods is open daily from dawn to dusk year-round.

Admission is free, although donations are accepted.

Spring/Summer 2013

Freshwater Bay, where river water spills into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is a great place for an outing.

The bay is a tranquil location to launch kayaks and small boats. Once on the protected bay, it is quite common to come face-to-face with any number of marine mammals.

Freshwater Bay is only 10 miles west of Port Angeles. Just go west on state Highway 112, then travel 3 miles north on Freshwater Bay Road.

Crown Park on West Fourth Street has a former pulley wheel that serves as a sign for the park. It has a playground for children and offers unobstructed views of Port Angeles Harbor.

Stop by the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce, 121 E. Railroad Ave., for maps, brochures and helpful information about what to do in town. Volunteers staff the visitor center and love sharing their knowledge of places to go while you’re here.

BEAUTY IN PORT ANGELES TOWERING PEAKS Hurricane Ridge, rising nearly a mile above sea level, is one of Olympic National Park’s most scenic areas, with alpine meadows, the glacier-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains and, in the winter, a snowy playground.

To get there, travel south on Race Street, which becomes Mount Angeles Road.

You can also stop by the Olympic National Park Visitor Center, on your right as you make your way up the road, where you can get maps and information from staff.

Hurricane Ridge DISCOVER HISTORY Built in 1914, the Clallam County Courthouse at Fourth and Lincoln streets is a Georgian-style brick structure with distinctive features such as a stainedglass skylight, marble steps and a clock tower.

Nearby, the Museum at the Carnegie, 207 S. Lincoln St., offers a glimpse into Clallam County’s past.

Heritage Tours (360-452-2363, ext. 0, portangelesheritagetours.com) offers you a guided walking tour through Port Angeles’ past. The tour takes you through historic downtown buildings, past murals that tell stories and down into the Port Angeles Underground that was created when downtown street levels were raised above the tidal flats in 1914.

Madison Creek Falls

Clallam County Courthouse ACCESSIBLE WATERFALL Madison Creek Falls is an easy hike just a few miles west of Port Angeles. Take U.S. Highway 101 west from town and turn south onto Olympic Hot Springs Road. Follow the road a short way to the parking area.

The trailhead begins right at the parking lot.

The 60-foot waterfall is only 150 yards from the parking area over a paved trail. This is Olympic National Park’s most accessible waterfall.

Several old-growth trees and stumps line the trail.

A nearby picnic area in an old orchard provides an easy place for families to dine and enjoy the beauty of the Elwha Valley and the changing shape of the Elwha River.

Discover hidden waterfalls by exploring the region through the Olympic Peninsula Waterfall Trail (olympicpeninsulawaterfalltrail.com). The diverse trail is a loop through the entire Peninsula — from north of Shelton and around to Quinault — that features more than 20 waterfalls.

The variety of trails means there is a trail for everyone, whether you are looking for a short walk or a daylong excursion.

The interactive website provides details on each waterfall, including directions, photos and best viewing times.

OLYMPIC DISCOVERY TRAIL

Olympic Discovery Trail

The peaceful Olympic Discovery Trail (olympicdiscoverytrail.com) is a perfect place to cycle, hike, jog, walk the dog — or in some places, even ride a horse.

The trail will ultimately traverse 130 miles from Port Townsend to the Pacific Coast. It runs through two counties and passes over historic railroad trestles, through agricultural land and along the water.

The trail is a wide, paved, nonmotorized route open to hikers, bikers and walkers and also equestrians where appropriate. Portions of the trail are ADA-compliant.

A 26-mile stretch connects Port Angeles, Sequim and Blyn. Most of it is paved.

There are several access points, including Railroad Bridge Park in

Sequim (Hendrickson Road), Port Angeles City Pier (south end of Lincoln Street), Sequim Bay State Park and Morse creek trailhead (both off U.S. Highway 101).

The Adventure Route is a wilderness trail that is an adjunct to the Olympic Discovery Trail.

It is suitable for active mountain bikers, hikers and equestrians. (Road bicyclists should not use this route.)

The 25-mile route begins just west of the state Highway 112 bridge and continues to the east end of Lake Crescent.

Here it ties into Olympic National Park’s Spruce Railroad Trail, which travels west along Lake Crescent.

Park at the trailhead located on the Highway 112 pullout north of the Elwha River, or at the Spruce Railroad trailhead off East Beach Road.

PADDLER’S PARADISE There is no shortage of water opportunities on the North Olympic Peninsula. Rivers, lakes and a dramatic coastline lure paddlers to the region.

One of the more popular kayaking spots is Freshwater Bay, just west of Port Angeles. The rugged coastline and abundance of wildlife make it a world-class paddling adventure.

Sea kayaking is an easy sport to start and a great way to see the sights from a different viewpoint.

Kayakers often can be seen in the waters off Ediz Hook and Hollywood

Beach, which both have easy access for putting a kayak in the water.

East of Port Townsend, Marrowstone Island juts into Admiralty Inlet and offers several beach sites suitable for launching kayaks.

If you are new to the sport, consider starting with some instruction to understand good paddling techniques as well as safety.

Local kayak shops can help you with buying or renting a kayak or provide you with tips for good kayaking locations.

Port Angeles City Pier

GOING TO THE BIRDS

King eiders

Because the Peninsula is located in a prime migratory path for birds with different migratory patterns, birding is always in season.

In the spring and summer, songbirds are in higher numbers, while the summer has shorebirds and gulls migrating through.

Mid-fall, songbirds and shorebirds make their way into the area, and then in winter, you have waterfowl.

Free guided bird walks are conducted each Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. at the Dungeness River Audubon Center

Spring/Summer 2013

u

at Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim.

The walks last two hours and are held rain or shine.

Birds that can be seen at Railroad Bridge Park include flickers, kinglets, finches, nuthatches, towhees, shrike and the American dipper.

Another prime birding location is the North/West Coast. Dozens of species migrate along the coast, including trumpeter swans, falcons and sand cranes. You can even spot eagles perched in the trees along the highway.

olympic national park

history lesson Olympic National Park is often called “three parks in one.”

Where else can you view breathtaking mountain vistas, colorful tide pools and some of the largest remnants of ancient forests remaining in the nation in just one day?

The park protects 922,651 acres encompassing three distinctly different ecosystems — rugged glacier-capped mountains, more than 70 miles of wild Pacific coast and magnificent stands of oldgrowth trees and temperate rain forest.

A World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, Olympic National Park is celebrated for its dramatic variety and untamed beauty.

Seventy-five years ago, on June 29, 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill establishing Olympic National Park.

Today, the park is visited by about 3 million people each year.

THINGS TO SEE

in Olympic National Park

Hurricane Hill is the perfect place to enjoy a sunset on a clear evening.

A paved trail climbs to a panoramic view of mountains and saltwater. It has an elevation change of 700 feet. The first quarter-mile of the 1.6-mile (one way) trail is wheelchair accessible with assistance. The trailhead is located at the end of Hurricane Ridge Road. Be sure to pack a flashlight or a headlamp for the return stroll down Hurricane Hill.

Numerous publications have listed Olympic National Park’s Shi Shi Beach as a top beach experience year after year for good reason.

This wilderness beach offers breathtaking views of the Pacific and nearby Point of the Arches, excellent tide pools, spires, arches and more.

The Shi Shi Beach Trail, a 3.3-mile trek from the Makah Reservation to the beach, is the easiest way to reach the beach.

A $10 Makah Recreation Permit is required to use the trail. Turn to Page 96 for permit details.

The Hoh Rain Forest is a great place to view Roosevelt elk.

Elk can often be found searching for food in the forest in the early morning or at dusk after most tourists have cleared out for the day.

Remember elk are wild animals and are very protective of their young, so keep your distance.

The Hoh Rain Forest is located south of Forks and can be reached by traveling along the scenic Upper Hoh Road just off U.S. Highway 101.

Spring/Summer 2013

A variety of wildflowers decorate the landscape of Olympic National Park in the spring and summer.

In the mountains, look for lupine, avalanche and glacier lilies, phlox, delphinium and paintbrush.

In the forest, keep an eye out for trillium and skunk cabbage.

Along the coast, you will find a variety of daisies, paintbrush and other delicate wildflowers.

Lake Angeles takes an effort to reach, but you will not be disappointed.

The well-worn trail gains more than 2,300 feet in just 3.5 miles and is a 7.4-mile roundtrip trek.

GETTING AROUND THE PARK

Obstruction Point

Olympic National Park can be easily visited on foot or by car.

More than 600 miles of trails weave throughout the park, from short, easy loop trails to rigorous, primitive hikes along high passes or ocean beaches.

For most of the arduous trips inside the park, you’ll need a topographic map, which you can buy at visitor centers and ranger stations.

For those who prefer to see some of this nearly one-million-acre park by car, there are 168 miles of roads that provide access to various points, although 99 of the roads are gravel.

All park roads are “spur roads” off

U.S. Highway 101. No roads traverse the Olympic wilderness.

The rugged wilderness is a fragile environment. To help protect animal and plant life, waterways and each person’s wilderness experience, the National Park Service creates and enforces a variety of regulations.

The Olympic National Park Visitor Center on the way to Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles is fully accessible, as is the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center on the West End. Other centers and ranger stations provide varying levels of accessibility and hours of operation.

FROM THE WATER’S EDGE The Olympic Mountains are not very high —Mount Olympus, the tallest is just under 8,000 feet — but they rise almost from the water’s edge.

The mountains intercept moisturerich air masses that move in from the Pacific Ocean. As this air is forced over the mountains, it cools and releases moisture in the form of rain and snow.

At lower elevations, rain nurtures the forests, while at higher elevations snow adds to glacial masses that relentlessly carve the landscape.

The mountains wring precipitation out of the air so effectively that areas on the northeast corner experience a rain shadow and get very little rain.

For eons, wind and rain washed sediment from the land into the ocean.

Powerful forces fractured, folded and overturned rock formations, which help explain the jumbled appearance of the Olympics.

Ice Age glacial sheets from the north carved out the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal, isolating the Olympics from nearby land masses.

Surrounded on three sides by water

and still crowned by alpine glaciers, the Olympics retain the distinctive character that developed from their isolation.

Glacial ice is one of the foremost scenic and scientific values of Olympic National Park.

There are about 266 glaciers crowing the Olympic peaks.

The most prominent glaciers are on Mount Olympus, covering about 10 square miles. Beyond the Olympic complex are the glaciers of Mount Carrie, Bailey Range, Mount Christie and Mount Anderson.

In the company of these glaciers are perpetual snowbanks that have the superficial appearance of glacial ice.

The movement of glacial ice past and present has produced striking geological features throughout the Olympic Mountains.

Travel on the Olympic Mountains’ glacial ice is a specialized skill of mountaineering requiring the basic use of climbing rope, ice ax, crampons and good judgment by a climber accompanied by experienced leaders.

Second Beach

WHERE LAND MEETS SEA More than 60 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline form a vital component of Olympic National Park.

This coastline looks much as it did when Native Americans built their first villages thousands of years before Europeans arrived.

The coast is where the land meets the sea, vibrating with life and energy — arches and sea stacks; the roar of crashing waves; the calls of gulls, bald eagles, cormorants and black oystercatchers; dramatic sunsets and the vastness of the ocean.

At low tide, you can walk toward the surf, stopping at various tide pools along the way.

If you squat down and spend some time just looking, you will be amazed at what you see; what first look like rocks are, in fact, small sea animals.

VENTURE INTO THE FOREST

There are four basic types of forests on the North Olympic Peninsula: temperate rain forest, lowland, montane and subalpine.

Temperate rain forest is found at low elevations along the Pacific Ocean coast and in the western-facing valleys

of the Peninsula, where lots of rain, moderate temperatures and summer fogs exist.

The lowland forest grows farther inland from the coast and above the rain forest valleys.

The lowland forest gives way to the montane forest.

As elevation increases, temperatures cool and more moisture falls as snow; growing seasons get shorter and the subalpine zone takes over.

The lower portion of the subalpine zone consists of continuous forest, but in the upper part of this zone, the forest thins out.

Increasing elevation causes even more severe climatic conditions.

Trees become fewer, shorter and more misshapen.

When the tree line is reached, beyond which trees do not grow, a profusion of colorful wildflowers often rewards your eyes.

MORE PARK PLACES TO EXPLORE STRETCH YOUR LEGS On a clear day, Hurricane Ridge serves up aweinspiring, panoramic views of Olympic National Park, especially during sunrise and sunset.

During the spring, thousands of wildflowers cover the ground of the subalpine meadows, and blacktail deer are often spotted grazing.

No matter the season, ridge-goers are found snapping photos, hoping to take a little piece of the this magnificent place home.

Hurricane Ridge is the most easily accessed mountain area within Olympic National Park.

It is located 17 miles south of Port Angeles off Mount Angeles Road, the southern extension of Race Street, which intersects U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles.

Simply follow Race Street out of town and follow signs leading to the Hurricane Ridge.

Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit at the ridge.

Stop there for brochures, maps, snacks and tips regarding your visit.

It is open daily in the summer and Sol Duc Falls

HIKE TO A WATERFALL Old-growth forest and subalpine lakes populate the Sol Duc landscape.

The Sol Duc River serves as a key highway for coho salmon, running through the valley and ascending to the lakes and headwaters in the surrounding mountains.

Chinook and coho salmon ascend the Sol Duc in late summer and spawn in late fall, while cutthroat trout and

whenever Hurricane Ridge Road is open during the remainder of the year.

Phone the park’s recorded information line at 360-565-3131 for daily updates on road conditions.

Hurricane Ridge has a number of hiking trails, from ridgetop traverses to steep trails that descend to subalpine lakes and valleys.

Hurricane Hill is a paved trail that climbs to a panoramic view of mountains and saltwater. It has an elevation change of 700-feet. The first 0.25 mile of the 1.6-mile (one way) trail is wheelchair-accessible with assistance.

Cirque Rim is an easy paved trail with views of Port Angeles and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The half-mile (one way) trek has an elevation change of less than 50 feet and is wheelchairaccessible with assistance.

Klahhane Ridge is one of the most popular trails at the ridge. The first 2.8 miles of this trail (elevation change of 250 feet) is on a ridge to a junction with the Klahhane Switchback trail.

An additional mile climbs 800 feet on the Switchback Trail to Klahhane Ridge. The trail is 3.8 miles one way.

For information about hiking trails steelhead run in the fall and winter and spawn into the spring.

The Sol Duc is one of the few places where salmon run in every season.

To get to the Sol Duc area of Olympic National Park, take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles or east from Forks.

Turn southeast on Sol Duc Hot Springs Road and follow it 12 miles.

Ancient Groves is a self-guided nature trail found off of this road.

The loop through old growth forest is less than a mile.

For a short hike, try Sol Duc Falls, a 1.6-mile roundtrip hike that wanders through the forest to a cascading waterfall.

The trailhead parking lot is off of Sol Duc Hot Springs Road.

The longer, 6-mile Lover’s Lane Trail is a loop that meanders through old-growth forest and past the falls.

The trail links the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort to Sol Duc Falls. It can be reached from the Sol Duc Falls trail or campground trail.

HOH The Hoh tribe is a small community in West Jefferson County, located along the Hoh River.

The river is focal in the tribe’s identity and stories.

Flooding is a nearly constant problem as the reservation is located on one square mile of land on a flood plain at the mouth of the Hoh River.

However, additional land the tribe acquired will allow it to relocate much of the reservation to higher ground and out of a tsunami and flood zone.

For more information on the tribe, visit hohtribe-nsn.org.

QUINAULT The Quinault Nation consists of the Quinault and Queets tribes and descendants of five other coastal tribes.

Their home is located in the rainsoaked lands on the southwestern portion of the Peninsula.

The reservation is primarily in Grays Harbor County, with some parts in Jefferson County.

The Quinault will host thousands of tribal members this summer from dozens of tribes during the Paddle to Quinault — the 2013 Tribal Canoe Journey. Canoes are scheduled to arrive at Point Grenville on Aug. 1.

lake crescent

history lesson Lake Crescent is a deep, glacially carved lake located entirely within Olympic National Park, approximately 17 miles west of Port Angeles on U.S. Highway 101.

A massive landslide isolated Lake Crescent from Lake Sutherland about 7,000 years ago.

There are two uniquely adapted fishing populations that call the lake home, the Crescenti and Beardslee trout, that resulted from genetic isolation following the landslide.

At an official maximum depth of 624 feet, Lake Crescent is officially the second deepest lake in Washington.

Unofficial depth measurements of more than 1,000 feet have been recorded.

Lake Crescent is known for its brilliant azure waters and exceptional clarity, caused by a lack of nitrogen in the water which inhibits the growth of algae.

Lake Crescent has several hiking trails, some of which climb the surrounding mountains and others that explore the lowland forests and creeks.

THINGS TO SEE

at Lake Crescent

A primitive trail continues to the mountain’s summit, but it is steep and exposed, and should only be attempted by skilled hikers.

Marymere Falls by way of the Barnes Creek trail is a favorite hike for people of all ages.

The 0.8-mile trail leaves from Storm King Ranger Station and meanders through stands of old-growth trees along Barnes Creek until reaching a staircase to view the falls.

Spruce Railroad Trail is an 8-mile roundtrip hike that runs along the north shore of the lake.

The trail dates back to 1918 when the U.S. Army built a railroad track to make airplane frames for World War I. Although millions of dollars were spent, the railway wasn’t completed until 19 days after the war ended.

The rails were later removed, but the trail remains for hikers and mountain bikers to enjoy.

More information about hiking along the trail is available at the Storm King Ranger Station.

Those looking for more of a challenge should consider leaving the Barnes Creek trail to try to tackle Mount Storm King.

trees, and makeshift sites along the shoreline providing the perfect place to enjoy a picnic lunch or dinner.

Last-minute lunch supplies can be purchased at Shadow Mountain General Store, located along U.S. Highway 101 at Lake Sutherland, or at Fairholme General Store, located at the west end of the lake.

The Storm King Ranger Station area includes restrooms and access to potable water, a ranger station, a boat launch and trails.

After the picnic, consider getting out on the water.

Boat launches are located at both east and west ends of the lake.

Rowboats are available for rental from historic Lake Crescent Lodge.

A GREAT PLACE TO EXPLORE The Olympic Peninsula features more than 2,132,300 acres of federal lands to enjoy.

Of this federal land, more than 633,600 acres are managed by Olympic National Forest, which blankets the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and surrounds much of Olympic National Park.

Most of the forest falls within Clallam and Jefferson counties, with parts in Grays Harbor and Mason counties.

Its diverse landscape includes temperate rain forest, mountain ranges, large lowland lakes, cascading rivers and saltwater beaches and tidelands.

Olympic National Forest features 19 developed campgrounds, five boating sites, four nature trails and one viewpoint.

Visitors should know which agency manages the site or lands they plan to visit because opportunities and regulations differ among agencies.

Cabin rentals, campgrounds, wilderness areas and picnic sites can all be found within the forest.

Picnic sites are located at developed recreation sites, including several campgrounds.

All campgrounds within the forest are available on a first-come, firstserved basis.

A recreation pass is needed for visiting Olympic National Forest.

Recreation passes do not cover fees for cabin rentals, winter snow-parks, or climbing and wilderness permits.

Passes also do not cover fees at developed campgrounds.

A National Forest Recreation Day Pass costs $5 per day and is honored at all Forest Service entrances or day-use fee sites in Washington and Oregon. An annual Northwest Forest Pass is available for $30.

An Interagency Annual Pass is available for $80.

Fees are waived at National Forest

Service-managed day use sites on the following days: National Trails Day (June 1), National Get Outdoors Day (June 8), National Public Lands Day (Sept. 28) and Veterans Day Weekend (Nov. 9-11).

To learn more about passes and permits, phone 800-270-7504 or visit fs.usda.gov/olympic.

STOP BY THIS SMALL-TOWN GEM Joyce General Store is what you think of when you think of a smalltown mom-and-pop shop.

This quaint little store is located just 16 miles west of Port Angeles in the small town of Joyce.

The store, built in 1911 by Joe Joyce, from whom the town gets its name, remains very much the same — false front, beaded ceilings, wooden floor.

Much of the store’s interior is made of remnants from the opera house and Markum House, which stood in the township of Port Crescent in the 1800s.

Port Crescent was located a few miles north of Joyce on what is now Crescent Beach.

Joyce Museum, housed in a former railroad station, is located next door.

Built in 1915, it is considered to the last remaining log depot from the Milwaukee Line.

The museum houses memorabilia, photographs and artifacts from area railroads, and historical materials from surrounding towns. Phone 360928-3568 for hours of operation and other information.

Often you’ll find the winemakers themselves pouring in the tasting rooms and greeting visitors.

A handful of the wineries banded together to form the Olympic Peninsula Wineries Association (800785-5495, olympicpeninsulawineries.org) The website provides a suggested tour map and directions to all of the member wineries.

north/west coast

history lesson The Olympic Peninsula’s coastal area includes Clallam Bay and Sekiu, twin seafront towns about 50 miles west of Port Angeles, and Neah Bay, home of the Makah tribe.

To reach the rugged North/West Coast, drive west from Port Angeles on state Highway 112, which also is known as the Strait of Juan de Fuca National Scenic Byway.

The drive offers fabulous views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and plenty of places to stop for a picnic, to snap a photograph or to search tide pools.

A stop at the world-renowned Makah Cultural and Research Center in Neah Bay is a must. The center features artifacts from Ozette, an ancient whaling village uncovered by tidal erosion.

THINGS TO SEE

on the North/West Coast

The Sand Point Trail leads to an ocean campground complete with crashing breakers, a sandy beach and 500-year-old Makah tribal petroglyphs on rocks.

Care and respect should be used when searching for the petroglyphs, which are etched into a cluster of shore-hugging boulders known as the Wedding Rocks.

Two trails depart from Ozette Lake Campground.

The preferred trail is Sand Point, which at 3 miles, is shorter than the trek to Cape Alava.

The Sand Point Trail is also considered easier because it is all on boardwalk.

To get to the trailhead, take state Highway 112 to the “Ozette Lake� sign and turn onto Hoko-Ozette Road.

Follow the road 22 miles to the trailhead at the north end of Lake Ozette.

A ranger station is located at the trailhead.

Pillar Point County Park is located 10 miles east of Clallam Bay on Highway 112.

It offers saltwater beach access and a concrete launch ramp for small boats and is a great place to start a kayak trip.

Pull off the road and picnic as you feel the breeze blowing off the water and hear the shorebirds.

This is also the location of an Audubon-designated IBA (Important Bird Area) due to the unique estuary bay shoreline habitat and wide variety of shorebirds.

The Makah Cultural and Research Center provides a glimpse into what life was like for the tribe 300 to 500 years ago.

In 1970, tidal erosion uncovered an ancient whaling village at Ozette,

Spring/Summer 2013

u

parts of which had been covered by a mudslide hundreds of years ago.

The artifacts now make up part of the exhibits at the museum, located on the left as you enter Neah Bay. Its Ozette collection is the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe. On display are about 1 percent of the 55,000 artifacts recovered from Ozette, all between 300-500 years old.

Other items on display include artifacts from an archaeological dig at the Hoko River, west of Sekiu.

The dig revealed a fishing camp nearly 3,000 years old and a rock shelter about 1,000 years old.

The museum also has large, illustrated displays with information on Makah history, a 26-foot-long skeleton of a 31-ton gray whale suspended over handcrafted cedar canoes plus a gift shop.

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, phone 360-645-2711.

Clallam Bay Spit Community Beach County Park is a 33-acre dayuse county park located in the center of the Clallam Bay community, where the water of the Clallam River empties into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The park includes public access to Clallam Spit, a mile of a sand/gravel saltwater beach and access to the Clallam River Watch for eagles and osprey feeding on the beach.

It also is common to see a variety of marine life just offshore.

RUGGED, UNTAMED BEAUTY CLALLAM BAY AND SEKIU (pronounced SEEK-you) are the fishing headquarters for the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Here you can find charters for fishing — halibut, salmon, lingcod and rockfish are good catches — plus diving, kayaking, whale watching, birdwatching and general sightseeing.

Vacation homes, beach cabins, bed and breakfasts and resorts offer guests comfortable places to stay, while local restaurants serve up fresh fish and other seafood.

The beach area between the two towns is a good place to beachcomb, hunt agates and explore tidepools.

For details about Clallam Bay and Sekiu, contact the Clallam Bay/Sekiu Chamber of Commerce (360-963-2339, clallambay.com or sekiu.com).

NEAH BAY Continuing on from Clallam Bay to Neah Bay, there are year-round sightings of seabirds and maritime animals.

Watch for whales, such as gray, humpback, pilot and orca, that pass along the coast on their semi-annual Pacific migrations.

Be sure to stop at the Makah Cultural and Research Center, the museum on the left as you enter Neah Bay. The focus of the museum is the Ozette collection, the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe.

Artifacts on display come from a 500-year-old Makah village located 8 miles south of the Makah Reservation. See Page 91 for more museum details.

A short drive past Neah Bay brings you to Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point of the continental United States.

The Cape Flattery Trail, a short trail featuring boardwalk, stone and gravel steps, and four observation decks offers breathtaking views of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, Tatoosh Island and the Cape Flattery Lighthouse. The lighthouse, built in 1858, is now automated.

The trail is a Makah Wilderness Area, so please stay on the trail and supervise children closely. You will need a $10 per car Makah Recreation Permit to hike the Cape Flattery Trail. Permits can be purchased at the Makah Marina, Washburn’s General Store, Makah Tribal Center, Makah Mini Mart and the Makah Museum.

Makah Days, an annual event that celebrates the tribe’s culture, is set for Aug. 23, 24 and 25. The event will include a talent show, canoe races, salmon bake, traditional and modern dances, gambling games and a fireworks show.

Neah Bay Chamber of Commerce (neahbaywa.com) features additional information about Neah Bay.

BIRDS GALORE The North/West Coast, located beneath the Pacific flyway, is where birdwatchers find great opportunities to observe more than 250 different species that visit the Neah Bay area.

Keep an eye out for bald eagles, especially rare albino eagles occasionally seen between Clallam Bay and Neah Bay. Whenever you go, be sure to obey signs warning about areas that are open only to tribal members.

Note that hunting is prohibited inside Olympic National Park.

Washington law requires first-time hunters born after Jan. 1, 1972, to successfully complete a hunter education class before they can purchase a hunting license.

TRYING YOUR HAND AT SHELLFISHING You can find bucket-loads of oysters and clams. Going after crab and shrimp also are popular pursuits.

Seasons fluctuate, and anyone wanting to go after razor or other clams, oysters and crab, should first check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations.

The best way to figure out what’s open and what’s not is to visit wdfw. wa.gov/fishing/shellfish.

harvesting and may be purchased at most tackle shops and other stores.

A COASTAL FAVORITE Razor clams are available on many coastal beaches, but domoic acid, a naturally occurring marine toxin that can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning in humans, sometimes causes digging closures. But in recent years, beaches have routinely opened to harvesting.

Other species of shellfish are currently considered unsafe and should not be harvested from any beach on the state coastline.

For information on which shellfish are and are not safe, and dates and locations on seasons, contact the state Department of Health’s beach

west end

history lesson Trees covered in moss surrounded by enormous ferns, beaches dotted with sea stacks and rolling rivers tinted by glacier powder dominate the wild West End. The Hoh Rain Forest receives 100-plus inches of rain each year and is one of the best examples of a temperate rain forest in the world.

Located along the Pacific Ocean, LaPush is home to the Quileute tribe.

In the spring, visitors can look for migrating gray whales, while surfing and kayaking off First Beach are popular during the summer.

Fishing charters also are ready to help you bring home a catch.

The Quileute culture is celebrated during Quileute Days, an annual event that is open to the public.

This year’s festivities, which include traditional dancing, canoe races and a salmon bake, are scheduled for July 19, 20 and 21 in LaPush.

THINGS TO SEE

on the West End

LaPush is a wonderful place to stretch your legs after making the journey to the coast.

The seafront town is the home of the Quileute tribe and offers beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.

You can stroll to First Beach to watch surfers catch a wave or simply to watch seabirds soar above James Island (the island is called a-kalat in the Quileute language, which translates to the “top of the rock”).

The island, located at the mouth of the Quillayute River, is sacred to tribal members. Throughout the years, the island has been used to spot whales and was a burial spot for Quileute chiefs. Public access to the island is not permitted.

First Beach is one of the main spots to watch for gray whales as they migrate along the coast.

The beach also is a great place to watch tribal fishermen return after a long day on the water.

A short stroll over to the Quileute Harbor Marina will allow you to see them unload their catches, and to view colorful stacks of crab pots, nets and coolers.

Keep your eyes open for brown pelicans, which often fish in the river.

As you wander through town, stop by the general store for a snack and head back out to the beach to watch the sun set over the Pacific.

The West End is the perfect place to try your hand at freshwater or saltwater fishing.

Several tour guides offer a variety of trips on local rivers or off the coast.

Check out the Forks Chamber of Commerce (forkswa.com), the Neah Bay Chamber of Commerce, (neahbaywa.com) or the Clallam Bay Sekiu Chamber of Commerce (clallambay.com or sekiu.com) for advice on booking a tour.

A stop by the Forks Timber Museum and the Forks Loggers Memorial is a must.

You can’t miss the museum, which is located near the south end of town.

Just keep an eye out for a 12-foot-

u

tall carved logger.

This cozy little museum has exhibits depicting local history dating back to the 1870s.

Constructed in 1990 by the Forks High School carpentry class, the 3,200-square-foot building provides a glimpse into the local history of the timber industry.

Among the displays are an old-time steam donkey, threshing machine and bunkhouse.

A free, self-guided tour allows those looking to explore history to stop at one of nine signposts in downtown Forks that feature pictures and stories about historic buildings or happenings.

Cross-cut and chain saws used by loggers, a bunkhouse showing where they slept and how they lived, and books and video footage of men working are other highlights of the tour.

Once outside the museum, stop in the memorial garden for a moment.

There’s even a fire lookout tower and nature trails to stretch your legs.

West End Thunder drag races are held several weekends during the summer at the Forks Municipal Airport.

Drag races of an eighth of a mile, a Show and Shine exhibit that features classic cars and trucks, food and vendors are included in the event.

RAIN FORESTS, BEACHES & MORE THE WEST END Abundant rain forests, wild rivers and coastal beaches are just part of the allure of the West End. The lush forests in the Quinault, Queets, Hoh and Bogachiel valleys are spectacular examples of primeval temperate rain forest.

The drive to get there is beautiful in its own right, but the going can be a bit slower than most Peninsula trips.

The main route, U.S. Highway 101, twists and turns around Lake Crescent, and you may compete with recreational vehicles and log trucks, but gaining an appreciation for natural beauty, pristine even outside Olympic National Park boundaries, makes it worthwhile.

FORKS The city acts as the gateway to the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park.

A self-guided tour allows those wanting a look back in history to stop at signposts in downtown Forks that feature pictures and stories about historic buildings or happenings. For more information, stop by the Forks Chamber of Commerce at 1411 S. Forks Ave. (360-3742531, forkswa.com).

Quinault Rain Forest

RAIN FORESTS East of U.S. 101, Olympic National Park’s Hoh Rain Forest — which is the result of the West End getting 100-plus inches of rain each year — is one of the best examples of a temperate rain forest in the world.

Less than an hour from Forks, the forest is reached by the Upper Hoh Road off Highway 101.

The trees of the forest can grow as tall as 300 feet with a circumference of 23 feet around.

Explore by hiking the Hall of Mosses. This hike starts at the visitor center at the end of Hoh River Road. The trek is an easy 0.8-mile loop that takes about 45 minutes round-trip.

Near the center of the Hall of Mosses is the Spruce Nature Trail, a 1.2-mile loop through temperate rain forest to the Hoh River. Budget about an hour for the round-trip hike.

Travel south on Highway 101, and you’ll come across the green scenery at Queets. As the road begins to wind inland, take a drive to Lake Quinault. This glacier-carved lake is surrounded by the oldgrowth trees of the Quinault Rain Forest.

Sometimes called the Valley of the Rain Forest Giants, this area is home to some of the state’s largest and most impressive trees.

A 30-mile drive loops around Lake Quinault and could reveal elk feeding on vine maple buds, or other wildlife.

A 0.2-mile trail near Lake Quinault Lodge will take you to the largest Sitka spruce tree in the world.

OCEAN BEACHES Another glory of the West End is the accessibility of its beautiful beaches.

Close to LaPush are Second Beach and Third Beach. Both involve short hikes through forest but are worth the effort as you are rewarded with long stretches of beach.

Ruby Beach, located about 35 miles south of Forks, is one of the most scenic beaches in the state that is accessible to the public.

It offers rugged sea stacks, flat sand and a small stream that flows through it at the base of the short trail from the parking lot.

The beaches at Kalaloch are easy walks from car to shore. Beaches are numbered 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1.

THE WILD COAST IS CALLING PACK YOUR CAMERA A camera is very important to carry along during your visit to Washington’s coastal beaches, and the West End has some of the most accessible beaches on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Rialto Beach features views of offshore islands, pounding waves, giant drift logs and plenty of beach cobbles, making it one of the most popular beaches to visit.

Hole-in-the-Wall, a natural seacarved arch, is about 1.5 miles north of Rialto Beach. It is within the Olympic wilderness but can easily be reached at low tide from Rialto Beach.

During your trek along Rialto Beach, watch for bald eagles perched in the taller trees along the bluff.

A variety of other birds will entertain you along the way. Watch for black oystercatchers, guillemots, grebes, scoters and harlequin ducks as you stroll.

At about 1 mile, you will reach Ellen Creek. To avoid wet footwear, look for a log to cross or take your shoes off to plod through the chilly water.

Do not cross through Hole-in-theWall when the tide begins to cover the floor of the arch. Take care when exploring tide pools under and near the arch.

Rialto Beach, located about 75 miles from Port Angeles, is accessible by Mora Road, off of La Push Road.

The Kalaloch area of Washington’s wild, wondrous coast — about 35 miles south of Forks on U.S. Highway 101 — has all-season attractions for visitors.

Ruby Beach is at the northernmost

tip of the seven main spots in the Kalaloch area.

From there, marked trails offer access to pristine, sandy beaches.

Right in the area of Kalaloch Lodge and campground are several unnamed paths that also allow close contact with the sand and waves.

In the absence of fog, sunsets spread a spectacular light over the sea, setting up the potential for a photographer’s paradise.

Migrating shorebirds and sea mammals such as otters can be observed, especially with binoculars.

At low tide, seek out the tidepools for a glimpse at all the marine life.

Grab your shovel and bucket during extremely low or minus tides and go clamming on the exposed beaches or crabbing in the shallow waters.

But beware of “killer logs,” as the locals call them. Particularly on the Pacific coast, the tall conifers that make the North Olympic Peninsula so beautiful can be a hazard when washed up by the surf as logs and driftwood on the beaches.

As you clamber over these beached logs, it’s hard to believe you can’t always see them coming, but as a wave crests, it can obscure your view of what is riding behind it.

Those who want to stay a night or two in the area have a couple of op-

a tide table and weather report before heading out.

Headlands extending out to the water’s edge can create alcoves and grottos that may be readily accessible by thin strips of beach exposed during low tides.

Unfortunately, when the tide turns, the incoming waters can trap visitors who must frantically scramble to reach high ground.

Tide books are available at many WATCH FOR TIDES The Olympic Peninsula’s northern and Pacific coasts local shops.

Always keep an eye on the waves, offer a wealth of beaches for recreationwhether you’re in the water or walking al fun, but if you plan to explore them, along the shore. keep an eye on the tides and surf.

PARADISE FOR BIRDERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS From Grays Harbor to Neah Bay, more than 600 rocks, reefs and islands dot the rugged coastline. Three wildlife refuges totaling 430 acres are within the boundaries of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and Olympic National Park.

Hundreds of seabirds and other marine animals can be observed from vantage points along the way, particularly near Kalaloch and LaPush.

During migration seasons, more than 1 million birds gather in the area.

The Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge runs from Cape Flattery to the Ozette area.

Refuge staff warn that boaters should stay at least 200 yards off the islands, both for their own safety and to avoid disturbing birds.

The refuge areas are the primary breeding grounds for the tufted puffin, with its striped head and peculiar beak, and the common murre, which resembles a little penguin.

The region, where 80 percent of the state’s seabird population nests, supports 12 types of marine birds. In addition, peregrine falcons and bald eagles reside with their cousins.

Several types of seals, sea lions and otters also stop by the local kelp beds.

All refuges are closed to the public to protect the habitat. But visitors can observe crowds of seabirds, either from land or sea. Binoculars and cameras are good accessories to have on hand.

Most of the islands are small enough that they never have earned names on a map. But Destruction Island and Point Grenville are among some of the better-known locations.

STILL BITTEN BY TWILIGHT INSPIRATION BEHIND THE STORY Die-hard Twilight fans, eager to see the location of author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling books, travel to the North Olympic Peninsula to retrace the footprints of their favorite characters.

Although none of the movies was filmed in the small town of Forks, people from all over the world have come to the West End, making stops everywhere from Forks High School, where Bella and Edward met, out to LaPush, where Bella visits her werewolf friend, Jacob.

Most of the four books of the Twilight series — and now five motion pictures — are set in Forks.

Forks, the epicenter of the vampire territory, is about 60 miles west of Port Angeles along U.S. Highway 101.

You’ll spot the famous “The City of Forks Welcomes You” sign as you enter, where many fans have had their pictures taken.

The Forks Visitor Center, 1411 S. Forks Ave., is at the south end of town.

At the visitor center, staff can direct visitors to local landmarks as well as share all the juicy tidbits about the area.

Fiction and real life intertwine as fans can find locations from the novels throughout town.

Although Meyer didn’t have specific Forks homes picked out when she described them in her books — she

Bella Italia in downtown Port Angeles

Replica of Bella’s truck at the Forks Visitor Center didn’t visit Forks until after the first book was completed — the Forks Chamber of Commerce has dubbed a couple of homes as those of Bella and Edward.

The McIrvin residence at 775 K St. is considered the home of Bella and her police chief father. Fans are welcome to drive by the house, but since it is a private residence, they are asked to respect the family’s privacy and not go on the property or ask to take photos inside.

The Miller Tree Inn, 654 E. Division St., with its large windows and open and airy layout, fits the bill for the Cullen house, residence of Edward and his vampire family.

Outside, “Esme” — Edward’s “vampire mother” — leaves a note on a dry erase board to let fans know what the Cullens are doing.

Feel free to take pictures, but do not go inside unless you are a guest.

Each year, Forks celebrates all things Twilight during Stephenie Meyer Weekend, an event with vendors set up at Tillicum Park, cake, contests and more.

Spring/Summer 2013

u

The event is scheduled near Bella’s birthday of Sept. 13 and has grown from a one-day celebration to a full weekend.

This year’s event is scheduled for Sept. 12-15.

OTHER FORKS LOCATIONS Forks Visitor Center, 1411 S. Forks Ave., to take photos next to a replica of Bella’s red truck from the books and the movies. Find Twilight information here as well.

Forks High School, 261 S. Spartan Ave., where the characters attend school and where Bella and Edward met.

Forks Police Department, 500 E. Division St., where Police Chief Charlie Swan, Bella’s father, works.

Forks Community Hospital, 530 Bogachiel Way, where Bella — a self-proclaimed klutz — is a frequent visitor, and Dr. Carlisle Cullen — Edward’s “father” — is employed.

The hospital even has a special reserved parking spot for Dr. Cullen.

Forks Outfitters, 950 S. Forks Ave., considered the “Newton’s Olympic Outfitters” store owned by the Newton family and where Bella works.

LAPUSH About 15 miles west of Forks on state Highway 110 is LaPush, another town with Twilight fame.

LaPush may be off-limits to vampires, but werewolf fans — and yes, vampire fans, too — can visit the Quileute reservation where Bella’s friend Jacob lives.

Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the Quileute Reservation while checking out First Beach, where Bella first learned of “the cold ones” from Jacob, who later is revealed to be a werewolf.

The cliffs where the werewolves and Bella are said to have gone cliff diving also are visible from LaPush — but visitors should know that trying it out is dangerous and illegal.

The Quileute have a connection to wolves in legends, but no werewolves and vampires actually exist in them.

The Quileute Community Center, just off First Beach, hosts a drumming and healing circle for tribal members to share stories, dance and share culture with each other and visitors each Wednesday beginning at 6 p.m.

A field located near the Quileute Prairie Cemetery reportedly has been the site of some unusual baseball games.

Be respectful of the cemetery.

In the first novel, Bella describes catching a small plane from Seattle to Port Angeles, where her father picks her up and they drive to Forks.

She would have flown Kenmore Air into William R. Fairchild International Airport, located off Airport Road on the outskirts of Port Angeles.

PORT ANGELES As Forks has no movie theater, Bella and her friends venture to Port Angeles to catch films.

Lincoln Theater, 132 E. First St., is considered the same cinema where the characters see films.

The first three film adaptations of the books were shown here, with many fans showing up before opening night to take in all the excitement.

Just down the street from the theater is Bella Italia, 118 E. First St., where Edward and Bella have their first date (called La Bella Italia in the novel) after he saves her in the alley.

You can even dine on mushroom ravioli with a Coke, just as Bella did.

The bookstore where Bella goes to shop after her friends look for dresses has two possibilities.

It could either be Odyssey Bookshop, 114 W. Front St., or Port Book and News, 104 E. First St., which are both near Bella Italia.

victoria history lesson Victoria has been the capital of British Columbia dating back to colonial days, with the first government buildings erected in 1859.

Construction on the current legislative buildings began in 1897, with additions built in several phases from 1911 to 1915.

The buildings are a gallery of the finest materials, including tons of marble from as far away as Verona, Italy, that surround provincial leaders.

Stained glass is everywhere, including the showcase Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee window in the reception room near the Legislative Chamber.

Self-guided tours are available.

Annually, about 900 school groups use a visit to parliament to learn about comparative governments, including hundreds of groups from Washington state.

All tours are free of charge. Sessions of British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly are open to the public.

Parliament Buildings are a short walk from the ferry terminal for visitors from Port Angeles. Dozens of hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfast establishments are within walking distance.

Downtown shops, the Royal British Columbia Museum and the Fairmont Empress Hotel are also within sight.

For more information on tour availability and times, phone 250-387-3046.

THINGS TO SEE

in Victoria, B.C. is the heart of Victoria’s Old Town.

It has more than 35 independently owned and operated shops, eateries and a nightclub.

Heritage brick buildings surround an open-air courtyard that is great for lunching in the summer sun among colorful, hanging flower baskets.

Victoria’s Chinatown, founded in 1858, is the oldest and most intact such district in Canada.

Well more than 1,000 varieties of flowers can be enjoyed during a walk through the gardens, but allow yourself plenty of time — one visit can take several hours.

The former cement factory and quarry site at Tod Inlet can be reached by taking the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, then traveling 12 miles north by bus or car.

Transit and tour buses are found just east of the Victoria ferry landing.

Butchart is really a series of gardens, each with a distinct flair.

The gardens’ full-time, year-round gardeners are constantly planting different flowers, which are identified in a published flower guide noting different flowers by common names written in several languages.

A bit farther from downtown — so you may want to catch a ride — the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, 1040 Moss St., is a public art museum with almost 17,000 works of art.

When it first opened in 1951, the gallery exhibited art in the historic Spencer Mansion. The mansion, built in 1889, is now adjacent to the museum’s seven modern galleries.

You also can catch a ride — travel by pedicab for a relaxing tour filled with historical tidbits — to Craigdarroch Castle, 1050 Joan Crescent, a lavishly furnished 1890s mansion.

This legendary Victorian mansion was built on a hill overlooking beautiful Victoria.

It has 39 rooms, 87 steps to the tower, stained glass and woodwork.

A CITY RICH WITH BRITISH CHARM Victoria, a city full of classic British charm, is just a ferry ride away.

While the trip from Port Angeles may not exactly rank as an overseas journey, travelers definitely are in another country when they set foot in Victoria.

You can make the approximately 20-mile trip to Victoria for a one-day trek, a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, using the quaint city with the British atmosphere as the starting point for an extended tour of Vancouver Island.

The MV Coho ferry from Port Angeles lands in downtown Victoria — a city with an estimated metropolitan population of more than 300,000 — after a scenic cruise across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and through Victoria Harbour.

The Fairmont Empress Hotel dominates the waterfront as ferry passengers arrive at Victoria’s Inner Harbour from Port Angeles.

Harbor tours, available by a number of operators, give a different perspective of the distinctly British city.

Museum, downtown shops, restaurants and Chinatown are all located within walking distance of the ferry landing.

Public transportation easily can be found to reach other popular sites.

First-time visitors might want to start at the Greater Victoria Visitor Information Center, on the waterfront across from the imposing Empress Hotel, just a short walk from the ferry terminal.

The center has maps, brochures, information on accommodations and lots of friendly advice.

The Royal British Columbia Museum, located near the Parliament Buildings, has special exhibits and an unparalleled First Nations area.

The National Geographic Theater at the museum presents an IMAX experience with a six-story-high screen showing several movies that provide worldwide adventures.

Plenty of shops can be found along Government Street.

The real ‘‘main street,’’ however, is Douglas Street, and everything from major department stores to out-ofthe-way specialty shops can be found on side streets off Douglas between Courtney and Pembroke.

Food-fanciers should note that some of the finest bakeries in the world are found on Fort Street between Douglas and Blanshard.

Elsewhere, gourmet restaurants are dotted throughout the downtown area, featuring everything from escargot to fish and chips.

And authentic British and Irish pubs are a great way to take a break from shopping and walking.

Old-fashioned London double-decker buses leave on tours from in front of the Empress Hotel for such attractions as the world-famous Butchart Gardens.

Or, if you’re looking for a more romantic kind of transport, there are horse-drawn carriages available.

CATCH THE FERRY The North Olympic Peninsula is the gateway to an international experience. The privately owned Black Ball Ferry Line operates the MV Coho, which takes both passengers and vehicles between Port Angeles and Victoria daily.

Departure times vary seasonally, with up to four roundtrips available during the peak summer months.

Crossing time takes approximately 90 minutes.

Departures leave from the Port Angeles ferry landing, 101 E. Railroad Ave., and return from the Victoria ferry landing, 430 Belleville St. For schedule and fare information, contact Black Ball Ferry Line (360457-4491, cohoferry.com).

Located within 15 minutes of downtown Victoria, they provide a break from the island’s tourist attractions.

You can spend an hour or a day at Witty’s Lagoon, 12 miles west of Victoria near the coastal town of Metchosin, which offers a 56-hectare park (2.47 acres equals 1 hectare), blending dense woodland, tidal lagoon, sandy beach and rocky shore — and near seclusion.

At low tide, you can traverse a spit that leads to Tower Point to look for purple sea stars or white acorn barnacles. Occasionally, a harbor seal or sea lion swims by Heading back toward Highway 1A near Colwood, stop at Fort Rodd Hill and historic Fisgard Lighthouse.

Constructed in 1860, it is the oldest on the west coast of Canada. It was hand-operated until 1929 with the keeper trekking up five flights of stairs four times a day to trim the wick of the kerosene lamp.

Inside the lighthouse, displays inform the visitor of the “Graveyard of the Pacific” that has claimed so many ships over the last nearly 200 years.
