올림픽 산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

A quiet place in September

Just off the shores of Lake Crescent, this is the shared trailhead for Marymere Falls Nature Trail (a relatively short, easy hike) and Mount Storm King, a stiffer climb that even has fixed ropes to help you on some sections.

Sequim Bay State Park offers a year-round respite for the weary. Along with a beautiful stretch of coastline the park also has a number of hiker-biker campsites designated for those that walk or ride in.

Very lonely area with a lot of nature and originality. The trail is about 8 kilometers long, but you should still allow enough time as the gradient is not insignificant. The tour to Deer Lake can also be added. The path is accessible all year round, but snow and ice must be expected and there is a great chance of observing animals. There is also a campground nearby.

A beautiful alpine lake with abundant small trout rising.

Mink Lake sits at 3,100 feet, surrounded by lush forest of Hemlock and silver fir. This picturesque lake has a small campground on the south end, but please only camp in designated sites & store food in an approved bear canister.

A breathtaking subalpine lake surrounded by mountains and forest, this one is worth the run! Located 12km from Sol Duc River Trailhead, Heart Lake is a great trail running destination if you're looking for an epic run and to feel small in the massive nature surrounding you. Follow Sol Duc River Trail all the way to the lake.

Only 5.5km from the Sol Duc River Valley parking area, Deer Lake is technically two lakes nestled in the trees of Olympic National Park. This is a beautiful spot to take a quick rest before carrying on to Round Lake or heading back!
