Olympic National Park Hotels

Olympic National Park in Washington is perhaps the most diverse of all national parks, it certainly is the most mysterious. Here you can go from backpacking in the mountains to kayaking in the ocean in one short day. While this means more fun for you it also can mean a bit of a headache when you are packing for this fabulous trip. When planning for your Olympic National Park hotel stay there are a few things to keep in mind when packing.
Research the average climate and weather for Olympic National Park during the month you are visiting.

Keeping the weather information you just found in mind, pull the clothes from your closet that are climate appropriate to your destination, because you may go from high chilly conditions to playing in the water factor all this into your choices.

Matchup just enough outfits for the number of days you are going on vacation - it is a good idea to pack outfits that can be mixed and matched that way you only have to pack 3 or 4 that you can wear in different ways throughout your trip.

Get the smallest suitcase possible that will hold the clothes you have set aside and a few other small items.

Pack the clothes into the suitcase by rolling the clothes into small balls. This allows you to fit more into a small suitcase.

Get together your shoes and toiletries but only allow yourself to pack what fits into the one small suitcase.

Remember that you will not see anyone you know from home so you don't have to worry about getting a lot of new clothes before the trip - it's all new when you are 500 miles from home.

Try to pack shoes that are neutral colors such as black and white. These shoes will match with more outfits, so you will not have to pack as many shoes which will lighten up the load of the suitcase.

It is important to know what activities you want to do while you stay near the park. This will help you pack the right clothes and also help you choose the right hotel accommodations for your stay.

You might choose to stay at Lake Quinault Lodge which was built in 1926. Don't miss out by not staying at Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort, a charming resort built around the infamous healing hot springs. At Lochaerie Resort you can choose from several cabins each with its own charm for a more cabin style accommodation.
