Olympic National Park D N L ad A ventures “Visit Olympic National Park for a self-guided hike.” Another must-visit park for its hiking trails is the Olympic Na- tional Park in Washington. The park offers self-guided hikes (as well as guided), and there are many different trails that range from easy to extreme. If you are interested in the self- guided hiking experience (which we recommend for the landscape), try the trails at Lake Crescent Lodge. There are a variety of trails within Lake Crescent, and many will have you trekking through the lowland forests, complete with dense overgrowth and trickling creeks. You will feel as though you stepped into a wonderland forest as the sun shines down on you through the thick trees.
