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.

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.

This long, sandy stretch of beach is an excellent place for an extended run to add variety to your routine. It offers stunning views, lots of wildlife, and the "Tree of Life" - a true mystery of nature. The giant cedar tree is nearly 1000 years old and worth taking a side trip to see its magnificence.

Abbey Island is absolutely stunning and one of the Olympic National Park's most photographed sea stacks. Sitting offshore a few hundred feet, it is home to sea otters and migratory birds, bordered with many starfish and mussels. It's the perfect setting to photograph and create your own postcard.

Ruby Beach, within Olympic National Park, is a coastal gem known for its dramatic sea stacks and stunning ocean views. The name 'Ruby Beach' is derived from the presence of red minerals in the sand, specifically 'almandite,' a type of garnet.
