Olympic Activities
Car Touring
U.S. 101 provides the main access road to the park, with numerous spur roads leading to the interior. No roads pass through the heart of the Olympics. Rain forests can be seen along the Hoh, Queets, and Quinault rivers. Hurricane Ridge, accessible via a paved road, offers motorists an opportunity to look into a superb part of the Olympic wilderness. The coast area can be reached directly from U.S. 101 at Kalaloch and from spur roads to the mouth of the Hoh, to La Push, and to Rialto Beach.

Biking is allowed on roads, but use caution-many roads are narrow and winding with limited visibility. Bike rentals are available in some gateway communities. Biking is prohibited in the backcountry and on trails, except on Spruce Railroad Trail along the north shore of Lake Crescent and on the 2.4-mile trail to Boulder Creek Bridge.
