オリンピック山脈の絶景の山頂・トップ20

Toll

Stunning views. Restrooms and souvenirs in the nearby (summers only) visitor center. Lots of people, too, probably — since you can just drive up here, it tends to get crowded. But for intrepid bikers who cranked all the way here, it's well worth hopping off your bike for a quick walk to the best viewpoints. Don't forget to enjoy the screaming ride back downhill, too.

Olympic National Park on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula spans about a million acres of glacier-capped mountains, old-growth rainforests, and over 70 miles of wild Pacific coastline. This National Park is also recognized as an International Biosphere Reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hikers can explore the Hoh Rain Forest, Hurricane Ridge,​ Lake Crescent and Sol Duc Valley.

Hurricane Ridge is easy to access, so it can get crowded with cars and pedestrians. This spot provides views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The road to this viewpoint is open all summer and open Friday to Sunday (and holiday Mondays) in the winter, weather permitting.

Bathrooms, Snacks & Souvenirs (summer only) & viewpoint. I don't think there is a water fountain up here but the snack shop sold water and Gatorade.

The climb up can be a challenge, but the rewards are well worth it. From this viewpoint, you're treated to stunning 360 views. To the west, you'll catch a glimpse of Mt. Jupiter, the nearest high peak to Hood Canal. Further on, Mt. Constance stands as the third-highest peak in the Olympics, with its awe-inspiring rock faces. On exceptionally clear days, you'll even spot Mt. Baker to the northeast, the state's fourth-highest peak with a remarkable glacial system.

You've reached the highest point along Klahhane Ridge, so it's time to enjoy the breathtaking views in a beautiful alpine terrain. The area is also home to a lot of wildlife so keep your eyes open for goats, marmots, black bear and deer.

Mount Townsend is a widely popular destination for good reason. This beautiful alpine turtleback summit surrounded by the Welch Peaks offers panoramic views of the San Juans to the north across the Straight, the Olympics to the west, and east across the Sound to the Cascades. In the spring, there are lots of rhododendrons and wildflowers in bloom. You can even see a few waterfalls tucked away in the old-growth forest.
