Olympic National Park, Washington
Why It’s Cool: You'll see three different ecosystems in one park. Head to the Quinault Rain Forest (one of only three in the Western Hemisphere) to see the largest Sitka spruce tree in the world. There’s a 30-mile road that loops through the rain forest, but we think hiking is a better option. End your trip at Ruby Beach, where you can see mountains, glaciers, and rain forests right from the shore—or at La Push, the northernmost beach in Washington, where you can view whales off the coast during migration season.
Where to Camp: The park has 16 National Park Service-operated campgrounds with a total of 910 sites. Backcountry camping is allowed, but a permit ($5) is required—and sometimes reservations are needed. If you're not a tent enthusiast, stay in one of the rustic lodges.
When It’s Open: The park is open year-round. Camping availability varies, but there are some primitive sites open year-round as well.
Cost: Entrance fee is $20 per vehicle, which is valid for seven days. Campground fees range from $15 to $22 per night depending on season and location. A wilderness camping permit ($5 per person per night) is required for backcountry camping. For more information, visit the park's website.
