Sure, you could drive.You could vacation in an industrial park, too, but that doesn’t make it a smart choice. Instead, you’re visiting the awe-inspiring Olympic Peninsula. So why spend the first several hours of your trip gazing at the brake lights of the car in front of you? Gaze down on the most scenic corner of the continent during our 35-minute flight from Seattle instead.

And with our new partnership with Alaska Airlines, Port Angeles is but a click away from more than 90 cities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico on AlaskaAir.com. Participants in the award-winning Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan even earn 250 miles each way on our flights.

Sounds like the smart way to go is to fly Kenmore Air Express . . . the Peninsula’s Airline.

PublisHer’s letter

congratulations! You’ve reached one of the most enchanting and diverse regions on earth!

Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a returning visitor or a new resident of the North Olympic Peninsula, you’ll find our coastlines, our mountains, our towns, valleys and historical sites breathtaking and memory-making.

This North Olympic Peninsula New-comers’ and Visitors’ Guide is divided into six sections designed to give you a flavor of each of our towns or regions: Port Angeles, Sequim-Dungeness Val-ley, Port Townsend-Jefferson County, Forks-West End, the North/West Coast and, just across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Victoria.

Too, you’ll find important informa-tion about Olympic National Park, the Pacific Coast and other interesting destinations.

Included in this guide is a wealth of information about the goods, services and activities available on the Peninsula.

We combine all the adventures of wilderness recreation with the comforts of a premiere resort destination.

While you’re here, we encourage you to read the Peninsula Daily News, the newspaper of the North Olympic Peninsula.

It not only has news about the region and the world, but it contains updated information about community events throughout the fall, winter and spring.

The PDN’s entertainment magazine, Peninsula Spotlight, appears Fridays, and a list of “Things to Do” appears daily.

The Peninsula Daily News is available throughout Clallam and Jefferson coun-ties. Once you leave this area, you can keep in touch by logging onto the PDN site on the Internet: www.peninsuladailynews.com.

Welcome to the wonderland of the North Olympic Peninsula.

Most of the four books in the Twilight series — and now three motion pictures — are set in tiny Forks. The fourth book is set to be adapted into two more movies,

to be released in November 2011 and November 2012.Forks, the epicenter of the vampire werewolf territory, is about 60

miles west of Port Angeles along U.S. Highway 101. You’ll spot the famous “Welcome to Forks” sign as you enter, where fans from all over the world have had their pictures taken.

The Forks Visitor Center, 1411 S. Forks Ave., is at the south end of town. At the visitor center, the staff will direct visitors to local land-marks as well as share all the juicy tidbits about the area.

While you can give yourself a self-guided tour through all the Twi-light hot spots, some businesses also provide tours. >>

the best-selling books and blockbuster movies — although not filmed in forks — have drawn fans from all over the world to the west end town.

forks and the rest of the north olympic Peninsula have been bitten by Twilight mania,

and the excitement doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon. die-hard fans, eager

to see the birthplace of author stephenie meyer’s famous books, come here to retrace

the footprints of their favorite characters — from forks High school where bella and

edward attend school, out to laPush where bella visits her werewolf friend, Jacob.

Welcome to 'tWilight' Country


twiligHt

fiction and real life intertwine as fans find locations and elements from the novels throughout town.

Although Stephenie Meyer didn’t have specific Forks homes picked out when she described them in her books — she didn’t visit Forks until after the first book was completed — the Forks Chamber of Com-merce has dubbed a couple of homes as those of Bella and Edward.

The McIrvin residence at 775 K St. is considered the Swan residence.

Fans are welcome to drive by the house, but since it is a private residence, they are asked to respect the family’s privacy and not go on the property or ask to take photos inside.

The Miller Tree Inn, 654 E. Division St., with its large windows and open and airy layout, fits the bill for the Cullen house.

Each day, “Esme” — Edward’s “vampire mother” — leaves a note on a dry erase board outside to let fans know what the Cullens are doing.

Feel free to take pictures, but please do not go inside unless you are a registered guest.

As of publication, visitors still had the unique op-portunity to see the original 1925 Forks High School

building facade, at 261 S. Spartan Ave. The school is where Bella and Edward first meet in biology class.

Old, deteriorating portions of the campus have begun to be replaced, but it is unclear if the original facade will remain intact.

Other key Forks locations to check out:n Forks Visitor Center, 1411 S. Forks Ave., to

take photos next to a replica of Bella’s red Chevrolet pickup truck. Find Twilight information here as well.n Forks Police Department, 500 E. Division St.,

to take pictures next to a car just like the one belong-ing to Police Chief Charlie Swan, Bella’s father.n Forks Community Hospital, 530 Bogachiel Way,

where Bella — a self-proclaimed klutz — is a frequent visitor and Dr. Carlisle Cullen — Edward’s “father” — is employed. The hospital even has a special reserved parking spot for Dr. Cullen.n Forks Outfitters, 950 S. Forks Ave., considered

the “Newton’s Olympic Outfitters” store owned by the Newton family and where Bella works.

lapushAbout 15 miles west of Forks on state Highway 110

is LaPush, another town with Twilight fame.LaPush may be off-limits to vampires, but werewolf

fans — and, yes, vampire fans, too — can visit the Quileute reservation where Bella’s friend Jacob lives.

You’ll know you are getting close when you see the treaty line marked with a “No vampires beyond this point” sign.

Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the Quile-ute reservation while checking out First Beach, where Bella first learned of “the cold ones” from Jacob, who is later revealed to be a werewolf.

The cliffs where the werewolves and Bella are said to have gone cliff diving are also visible from LaPush — but visitors should beware that such diving is dangerous and illegal.

The Quileute have a strong connection to wolves in legends, although no werewolves and vampires actu-ally exist in them.

Each Wednesday, a drumming and healing circle is set up for tribal members to share stories, dance and culture with each other and any visitors.

The event is at the Quileute Community Center, just off of First Beach.

A field located near the Quillayute Prairie Cemetery has reportedly been the site of some unusual baseball games. Please be respectful of the cemetery.

While Forks has no movie theater, “Twilight,” “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” were shown in Port Angeles at Lincoln Theater, 132 E. First St., which is considered the same theater where Bella and her friends see films.

Fans often show up before opening night to take in all the excitement; lines to the ticket counter form days before the special midnight showings of each movie. >>

Both port angeles and forks are home to dazzled by twilight, a store specializing in all things 'twilight.'

TThe mountains and the beaches are perhaps the biggest draw for outdoor adventure on the North Olympic Peninsula, but festivals and commu-nity events in the friendly towns rate just as high for most people.

Take, for example, the Sequim Ir-rigation Festival, which at 116 years, is the oldest continuously running festival in Washington.

In the winter, Olympic National Park — a World Heritage Park des-ignated for its rare qualities — can be explored on snowshoes, cross-country skis or by car.

As well as boasting the highest mountains this side of the Cascades, the Olympic Peninsula also has near-ly 65 miles of wilderness beaches included in Olympic National Park.

The temperate rain forest, the Hoh, on the western side of the North Olympic Peninsula provides the perfect growing conditions for some of the largest trees in the world.

Although many of their brethren on adjacent commercial lands were logged long ago, many record trees still stand in the park and in Olym-pic National Forest.

The west end of Clallam County is famous for its rainfall.

The Hoh Rain Forest, 90 miles west of Port Angeles, typically re-cords 135 inches of rain annually!

One of the benefits of the West End’s abundance of precipitation is the number of waterfalls it creates.

Accessibility and scenic beauty combine to make Marymere Falls, just off U.S. 101 at Lake Crescent, a must see.

Wherever you go on the Peninsula, you are sure to be surprised and delighted at every turn. n

countY of dreamswelcome to Jefferson county, where Port townsend, Quilcene, brinnon, nordland, Port ludlow and the “tri-area” of Port Hadlock, irondale and chimacum offer small-town friendliness and a taste of history along with a variety of activities. tourists can find lighthouses, as well as farmhouses, attend a town festival and dig for clams — all in the same day!

victorian seaportPort Townsend sits on the tip of the Quimper Peninsula,

surrounded by the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and Puget Sound to the east.

There are numerous harbors around Port Townsend Bay and Admiralty Inlet, including Point Hudson Marina and Port Townsend Boat Haven.

At the turn of the 20th century, Port Townsend was a bus-tling seaport and many elegant buildings lined the waterfront.

It was known as the “City of Dreams” because of specula-tion that it would be the largest harbor on the West Coast.

Port Townsend’s past is kept alive as the city is full of Victorian houses and business buildings that have been restored, the result of an organized effort by city residents.

Port Townsend was the first city in Washington state to establish the Main Street program, encouraging preserva-tion of historical districts, renovation and restoration of buildings.

There is so much history preserved in Port Townsend that it is one of only three cities nationwide that are on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places. The city and Fort Worden State Park are also national landmarks.

Many of the historical homes have been redesigned as bed-and-breakfast establishments. For an overview of the historical sites, take a walking tour.

Downtown, visitors may feel as though the main thor-oughfare, Water Street, came out of an old-fashioned western movie. But art galleries, chic clothing boutiques and unique shops make the window shopper feel like this is Seattle.

Be sure to check out the seaside restaurants and cafés, where you can relax and watch kayakers paddling by or sail-boats catching the breeze. On a clear day you can see Mount Rainier and Mount Baker.

The Bell Tower on the bluff at Tyler and Jefferson streets, overlooking the downtown Port Townsend business district, was built more than a century ago and historically used to summon volunteer firemen.

The Haller Fountain, a statue at Taylor and Washington streets, is a replica of one presented to the city in 1906 by Theodore Haller and is the centerpiece of a renovated plaza.

The Jefferson County Courthouse, built in Port Townsend in 1891, includes the Hall of Honor, which is sponsored by the Jefferson County Historical Society to honor the county’s early pioneers. >>



nature parksNearly two dozen parks dot Port Townsend. The showpiece is Chetzemoka Park at

Jackson and Blaine streets. Named in honor of the Klallam chief Chetzemoka, friend of the pioneers, the park

overlooks Admiralty Inlet. It includes a bandstand built in 1905, gardens, picnic area, children’s playground, hiking paths, arbor, beach access and restrooms.

Kah Tai Lagoon is a nature park that is home to many species of seabirds and other fowl. It was developed with volunteer labor and grant funding into a community park.

For those who prefer a quiet moment near water, North Beach, a favorite destination for many locals, offers beautiful vistas of the Strait of Juan de Fuca inlet during daylight hours.

The park, located at the end of Kuhn Street, features sandy stretches framed by steep bluffs.

industry on the waterPoint Hudson Marina is one of two moorage facilities in Port Townsend. Port Townsend Boat Haven and the adjacent industrial park illustrate one of the

town’s leading industries: boat building and related marine activities.Port Townsend Paper Corp. mill at Glen Cove is the town’s major industry. Ships load

kraft paper products for other parts of the world in the deepwater port.

step back in timeThe Jefferson County Historical Society Museum, 540 Water St., Port Townsend, of-

fers Jefferson County artifacts, archives and family histories. The Rothschild House at Taylor and Washington streets was built in 1867. This New England-style house was the home of D.C.H. Rothschild, one of the town’s

first merchants. The house is maintained by the state parks department and run by the Jefferson County Historical Society.

Union Wharf, built in 1867, was the first incorporated business in Washington Territory. It was most recently a fish processing plant, one of many activities during its long ca-

reer, which included being home to the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, a brothel and a blacksmith. It has been renovated and features a timber-frame pavilion.

Manresa Castle on Castle Hill in Port Townsend was built in 1892. It later was owned and remodeled by the Jesuit priests. The beautifully restored build-

ing is now used as a hotel and restaurant.

on the bayBetween Port Townsend and Port Angeles, U.S. Highway 101 winds around the south

end of a tranquil bay. Discovery Bay is an ideal place to take a rest from the road, stay overnight or just get away from the faster pace of living.

The Port of Port Townsend owns a public recreational boat launch in Gardiner. While kayakers sometimes paddle along the shoreline, the bay is typically quiet.However, the bay’s quiet waters once served as an anchorage for wooden tall ships.British explorer Capt. George Vancouver found Discovery Bay in 1792 and named the

body of water after his flagship, HMS Discovery.After a sawmill was built in 1853, boats carried wood in and out of the bay. n

Mt. Townsend Creamery, 338 Sherman St., Port Townsend, pro-duces wonderful local cheeses. The creamery itself is housed in a 50-year-old warehouse that has been home to boat builders, glass repair companies, a radical fringe publisher and, most recently, the Department of Licensing.

The Rose Theatre, 235 Taylor St., and The Uptown Theatre, 1120 Law-rence St., both in Port Townsend, are two charming movie theaters.

Aldrich’s Market, 940 Lawrence St., Port Townsend, is a must-see stop be-cause it is the descendant of one of the oldest grocery stores in the state and you can often buy fish and crab right off the fishing boats in the marina.


Located at the northern tip of Marrow-stone Island is Fort Flagler State Park, a 784-acre park surrounded by salt water on three sides, making it a prime location for on-the-water activities.

With its island location and historical turn-of-the-20th-century Army base, Fort Flagler is a popular place for visitors to find a variety of outdoor activities.

Barracks, officers’ quarters and a hospi-tal were used in World War I and World War II.

A favorite feature that can be toured: the nine-gun batteries atop the bluff.

Fort Flagler also has four miles of hiking and biking trails, and the woods are home to a variety of wildlife, including blacktail deer, skunk, coyote and bald eagle.

Built between 1897 and 1907, the Army base was the first of seven coastal artiller-ies constructed in Washington.

Along with Port Townsend’s Fort Worden and Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, the fort was part of the “Triangle of Fire” that guarded the entrance to Puget Sound.

Fort Worden State Park — a turn-of-the-20th-century army base — offers an unmatched combination of natural beauty and historic interest.

Acres of saltwater beaches, wooded hills, and open fields are framed by stun-ning vistas of the Olympic and Cascade ranges and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

It’s a place where the land stops, the sea begins — and the mind keeps going.

With its original buildings now re-stored for use as park, conference, educa-tional and entertainment facilities, Fort Worden offers an insight into the military history of the area during the first half of the 20th century.

It is the home to the Centrum Founda-tion and the Port Townsend School of Wood Working, which offers courses for woodworkers of all skill levels.

Centrum is a gathering place for artists and creative thinkers from around the world, students of all ages and back-grounds, and audiences seeking cultural enrichment. For more information on Centrum, phone 360-385-3102 or click on www.centrum.org.

Fort Worden State Park offers numerous scenic beach trails and the Point Wilson Light Station. The light station helps guide ships past the famous riptides off Point Wilson where the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound meet.

Fort Townsend State Park is a 367-acre marine camping park located four miles south of Port Townsend.

It features 3,960 feet of saltwater shore-line on Port Townsend Bay, nature and his-tory interpretive events, and 6.5 miles of hiking trails through a natural forest area.

The heavily wooded park has a rich military history dating from pioneer days.

The park occupies more than a third of the original Fort Townsend built in 1856 by the U.S. Army for the protection of settlers.

The fort was closed between 1859 and 1874 — declared “unfit” after an inspec-tion — and reopened in 1874. In 1895, fire destroyed the barracks. The property was then used as an enemy-munitions defusing station during World War II.

Boat Haven


Quilcene & BrinnonNestled like two jewels between the calm waters of the Hood Canal and the

great Olympic National Forest are Quilcene and Brinnon.Quilcene Bay, on Hood Canal — which is a naturally formed fjord, not a

man-made canal — is known for producing some of the Northwest’s most delicious oysters.

A public beach is located at the end of Linger Longer Road, just past Quil-cene off U.S. Highway 101.

Many hiking trails wind through areas of Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. Mount Walker, the easternmost summit of the Olym-pic Mountains, offers one of the most fantastic views of Puget Sound. Mount Walker Viewpoint Road is 5 miles south of Quilcene on Walker Pass.

South of Quilcene is Brinnon, another community known for its shellfish. Harbor seals can often be seen near Seal Rock, two miles north of Brinnon.

tri-areaPort Hadlock, Chimacum and Irondale are the gateway to Marrowstone Is-

land. Marrowstone Island is home to Mystery Bay State Park, a 10-acre marine park near the Nordland General Store.

The community holds a chilly polar bear dive each New Year’s Day.The famous Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port

Hadlock, known for its maritime crafts. (See sidebar on this page).An excellent view of Naval Magazine Indian Island, a Navy ammunition sta-

tion, can also be found in Port Hadlock. To the west, Chimacum is known for its dairy farms spreading across Chi-

macum Valley. It has a farmer’s market on Sundays and hosts an Old Time Fid-dlers Jam in September.

port ludlowNearby is Port Ludlow, a residential and recreational community built up

around the shores of Ludlow Bay. It boasts a top-rated championship golf course, the Resort at Port Ludlow,

scenic drives, hiking trails and boat launches. n

Jefferson countY

boatbuilding alive and well

Several quaint towns dot the western edge of Jefferson County. Find harbor seals, hiking trails, dairies and top-rated golfing.

Jefferson County has a rich maritime past that continues to thrive today.

Port Hadlock is home to the fa-mous Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, locally known as “The Boat School.”

The school’s mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts associated with fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime arts with emphasis on the development of the individual as a craftsperson.

Since its founding in 1981 by Puget Sound Master Shipwright Bob Prothe-ro, the school has taught the marine trades vocationally and recreationally.

More than 1,000 students have graduated from the school’s vocational programs, and thousands more have attended summer and community workshops in traditional maritime arts.

The tradition continues today on the new Heritage Campus, located on the historic Port Hadlock waterfront.

The school currently offers six courses which can lead to an associ-ate’s degree.

The Boat School shops are open to visitors Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the school welcomes walk-in visitors.

Self-guided tours are available any-time during hours of operation, and guided tours are offered Mondays and Fridays at 10:30 a.m.

The Boat School is associated with the Port Townsend Bay Maritime Education Alliance. For more infor-mation, go to www.nwboatschool.org or phone 360-385-4948.

tHe rain sHadow Mild, sunny climate draws retirees to Sequim

Protected from u.s. Highway 101 traffic by a bypass, sequim is a friendly town that offers access to the dungeness valley. sequim (pronounced “skwim”) is sometimes referred to as the “blue hole” because it sits in the rain shadow of the olympic mountains and only gets about 17 inches of rain each year. >>

dungeness recreation area


Sunny weather is one of many things that makes Sequim a favorite retirement spot and a good bet for a rain-free picnic.

If this is your first visit, stop by the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center at the east end of town for a self-guided tour of local attractions, both in town and in the valley beyond.

The in-town tour includes the scale model of a working water wheel at the Visitors Center, the Sister City Friendship Garden at Carrie Blake Park, Pioneer Park with its colorful flower gardens and foliage, the city’s scenic murals and Heritage Park, Sequim’s newest park on the way to the downtown business district.

Downtown, you’ll find specialty gift shops, art and antique dealers and small-town cafés. Efforts are under way to make the downtown areas even more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.

Irrigation — namely, the opening of the first ditch channeling water from the Dun-geness River — brought the community together more than 100 years ago.

Today, the annual Irrigation Festival — the oldest continuing festival in Washington — celebrates the initiation, development and support of the irrigation ditches that brought water to the once dry prairies of Sequim. For more information on the festival, turn to page 28.

The Scenic Loop Drive is a driving tour through Sequim that takes you along Ma-rine Drive, with its breathtaking view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Dungeness Spit and Lighthouse and — on a clear day — Victoria, British Columbia.

To get some exercise while exploring Sequim, go for a walking tour.

Walking maps are posted at five locations around town — two at the public restrooms at Sequim Avenue and Washington Street; and one each at the Seal Street mini park, Washington and North Seal streets; Water Reuse Demonstration Site, North Blake Av-enue and Fir Street; and Carrie Blake Park, North Blake and Cedar streets.

Framed by local artist Karin Anderson’s verdant rendering of farmland, fish, elk, mountains and other natural features, the maps show walking routes that offer such an interesting array of scenes and scents you’ll forget you’re exercising!

There’s the 1.1-mile blue line along Cedar; the 2.6-mile gold route from East Washington through Carrie Blake Park and up across Fir Street.

And the 2.3-mile green line almost circumnavigates the city core, going out Sequim Avenue to Hendrickson Road and then back in along Fifth Avenue to Bell and Maple streets.

The beauty — one of them at least — is that all Sequim walks are flat. n

n Cline Spit, off Marine Drive in the New Dungeness area of the original New Dunge-ness town, was the first Clallam County seat. In the early 1890s, a thriving community developed at the edge of a three-quarter-mile dock, the remains of which can still be seen.

n The McAlmond House, built in 1861, is west of the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse, on the bluffs. Designated a national historical site, it was the first house of sawed lum-ber built in the county. The home is not open to the public.

n Carrie Blake Park on the east side of Sequim offers a picnic area with a playground for kids and a small stream and pond for feeding ducks. The park hosts outdoor concert series throughout the summer, and there is also a community center that is the site of other events.

n Sequim Bay State Park is a year-round, 92-acre marine camping park with 4,909 feet of saltwater coast in the Olympic Mountains’ rain shadow. The entrance to the park is west of Sequim on U.S. Highway 101.

n The Sequim Dog Park is an off-leash park for your four-legged pals. The park at 202 N. Blake Road is on the east side of Carrie Blake Park. The park is “self policing” for users, so please be considerate and clean up after your animals. For park rules, guidelines and information, visit www.sequimdogparks.org.

n Old Olympic Highway offers a pretty, quiet country drive for those who want to escape U.S. Highway 101. Old Olympic Highway is accessible from many Sequim streets.

n 7 Cedars Casino is a popular spot to stop by. Operated by the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, the casino is right off U.S. Highway 101 east of Sequim in the town of Blyn. Also treat yourself to a visit to the Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery, located at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center, featuring a wealth of Native Ameri-can artwork, a majority of which comes from the North Olympic Peninsula and also Vancouver Island.

n Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge encompasses Dungeness Spit and part of Dungeness Bay. This is a prime nesting area for waterfowl and shorebirds, and the tideflats house clams, crabs, oysters and other shellfish. The refuge is open all year for hiking, with camping available at the adjacent Dungeness Recreation Area.

get up close with wild animals at olympic game farm, 1423 ward road, sequim. the game farm houses about 30 species of animals, including timber wolves, bengal and siberian tigers, african lions and tibetan yaks.

The bears are a big hit with visitors, as they will beg for food from just a short distance away.

A self-driving tour — which lasts about 45 minutes — lets you experience the wildlife at close range.

Feeding the animals wheat or whole grain bread is permitted, but watch your fingers.

A freshly baked loaf of bread can be purchased for $2 at the main gate. The farm was established more than 50 years ago by Lloyd and

Catherine Beebe. After Walt and Roy Disney learned of Lloyd’s knack for communicating and handling the animals, Olympic Game Farm worked exclusively for Walt Disney Studios during the 1950s and ’60s.

The farm was originally a holding compound for the animal actors in between movie shoots, but in 1972, the Beebes opened Olympic Game Farm to the public.

In May, the farm began offering a new “mini tour” that provides visi-tors the additional experience of a guided tour through the historical studio barn and entry to the petting farm and freshwater aquarium.

Guests enter at their own risk, and visitors are asked to follow the rules at all times: Stay in your vehicle; keep doors, sunroofs and large windows closed; follow directional markers and stay on the roadway; drive slowly but steadily through the entire area; and avoid feeding buffalo near the gates.

For more information and admission rates, call Olympic Game Farm at 360-683-4295 or click on www.olygamefarm.com.

The vast, sandy beach — inhabited by assorted waterfowl and critters — rarely seems crowded.

At about five miles long, the spit is the largest natural sand hook in the nation.

It was formed from sand and clay that eroded from the high bluffs to the west and were then deposited by tidal and wave ac-tion near the mouth of the Dungeness River.

The bay formed by the spit is as famous as its namesake, the Dungeness crab.

Like many aspects of Mother Nature, the spit is often breached in harsh weather, but it then gently heals itself.

Much of the Dungeness Spit and part of Dungeness Bay formed by the sandy hook are in the Dungeness National Wild-life Refuge, a prime nesting ground for waterfowl. Because of this, the inside of the spit is off-limits to beach walkers.

A walk along the outside can still net many sightings to add to a birdwatcher’s life list, or just to enjoy.

Shorebirds include sanderlings and black-bellied plovers, while common seabirds are pigeon guillemots and marbled mur-relets. It’s also a good location for spotting resident bald eagles

and the more elusive peregrine falcons.The spit and other parts of the wildlife refuge are open only to

foot traffic. There are trails for horseback riding.Be prepared for quick changes in the weather and the water, usu-

ally for the worse.Check the tides. If you’re going to hike any distance, plan

your walk for an outgoing tide and the firm, wet sand that it leaves behind.

To get there, drive U.S. Highway 101 west from Sequim. Turn north on Kitchen-Dick Road. Continue three miles to Dungeness Recreation Area and drive through to the refuge parking lot.

Leave your pets, mountain bikes and plans for a campfire back on the bluff. They are prohibited. Horseback riding is by reserva-tion only and you supply the horse.

Reservations are also required for boat landings at the lighthouse.A single-visit $3 permit is required to help pay for conserva-

tion efforts and will allow the permit holder and family to enter the refuge. There is no charge for children younger than 16.

Hours are daily from sunrise to sunset. nSee page 25 for information on the Spit's lighthouse.

Film legend John Wayne frequently sailed the Sequim Bay waters with his yacht Wild Goose and believed it would be a great loca-tion for a marina.

Fulfilling that desire, John Wayne Marina was constructed on 22 acres of landed do-nated by The Duke.

This picturesque marina is the perfect set-ting for a picnic or relaxed walk.

Owned and operated by the Port of Port Angeles, the marina includes permanent and guest moorage, boat launch ramps, showers, laundry and banquet facilities, fuel facilities, public beach access and a restaurant and picnic areas.

Dockside Grill, a Northwest waterfront restaurant, and the Sequim Bay Yacht Club are both located at the marina.

It is accessible from U.S. Highway 101 east of Sequim. Follow the signs at Whitefeather Way.

Beacon of lightat the end of the dungeness spit is the new dungeness lighthouse.

The lighthouse is the oldest beacon north of the Columbia River — built in 1857 and opened about one week before the lighthouse on Tatoosh Island off Cape Flattery at the Olympic Peninsula’s northwestern tip.

The light is automated, but lighthouse tours can be arranged. Volunteers operate the lighthouse daily.The Coast Guard withdrew its last keeper from the light station in March 1994.

It planned to board up the building, but members of the New Dungeness Light Station Association offered its help.

You can stay for a week and be a lighthouse keeper. Phone 360-683-6638 or go to www.newdungenesslighthouse.com for information.

Access to the lighthouse is limited to hikers at low tide and small boats in calm seas.

bring water to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, which back then was a dry prairie.People started arriving at Callen’s Corner (now the roundabout at Port Williams Road

and Sequim-Dungeness Way) early in the morning, traveling hilly, crooked roads in covered wagons, on horseback and on foot.

They brought a lot of food — the custom at the time, according to an account from the Sequim Bicentennial History Book Committee, was to bring at least twice as much as was needed to feed your family.

Races and ball games followed dinner, along with “much visiting among the families who saw each other seldom in those days of difficult transportation.” >> contiued on Page 30

Visitors to the Sequim Museum & Arts Center — or MAC — love the idea of a woolly mammoth having once roamed the valley.

The bones of such a creature were dis-covered in 1975 during excavation on the Manis family farm near Sequim and make up one of the more interesting exhibits at the museum.

The resulting research determined the remains could be traced to that of a mast-odon, which roamed the North Olympic Peninsula nearly 12,000 years ago.

Photographs of the excavation and a scale model of the site are also on display.

Upon request, a video explaining the mastodon discovery can be viewed.

A mastodon mural adorns the museum walls, and the bones, which make up about half the animal, are featured in a case.

Sequim’s cultural history and art museum also features a variety of neatly displayed exhibits of artifacts, antiques and historic discoveries of the region and memorabilia from pioneer days and Native American life.

Another exhibit shows off buttons and pins from the 115-year history of the Se-quim Irrigation Festival. Smaller displays offer historic photographs and information about the region, including Jamestown, Dungeness and old downtown Sequim along with a display of historical tools used in the region.

The building housing the museum

served as Sequim’s post office until the early 1970s, and the old mail boxes, with their brass fittings, are a prize display.

A different featured artist or group show is installed at MAC the first of every month.

The gallery area provides a myriad of media, including the annual Sequim Arts Student Show, the Peninsula Scribes Show and the Olympic Peaks Camera Club Show.

The new Jamestown S’Klallam Long-house Exhibit is now also open at the exhibit center.

The museum, at 175 W. Cedar St., is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.

Visit www.sequimmuseum.org for more information.

exploring rich history The Museum & Arts Center is managed by a board of trustees; the organization has more than 600 members supporting the mission of the nonprofit museum.

The organization also operates the historical Old Dungeness School, located five miles north of Sequim en route to the Dungeness Spit.

The picturesque white two-story build-ing with a distinctive red-roofed bell tower and high ceilings is located at 2781 Towne Road, at the corner of Anderson and Towne roads.

It has retained its stately manner through the decades thanks to the efforts of volun-teers with a strong sense of history.

Built in 1893, the schoolhouse served as a place of learning for youngsters until the Sequim and Dungeness school districts were consolidated in 1955.

It was designated a Washington State Historical Site in 1973 and in 1988, it was listed on the National Register of Histori-cal Places.

The schoolhouse also retains its edu-cational heritage as a venue for Peninsula College classes throughout the year.

The facility, which can hold a maximum of 90 people, can be rented for events of all kinds.

>> The irrigation system grew signifi-cantly in subsequent years, and the festival named after it has expanded as well.

Originally, it was celebrated by the farmers and the people who created the ditches.

Now there are floats, bands and lots of people from out of town.

There’s also a festival pageant, three parades, a car show, a motorcycle show, a logging demonstration, a strong man competition, an arts and crafts show and a carnival.

But it’s still a gathering point for people — indeed, in these days of easy transporta-tion, 10,000 to 15,000 visitors are expected on the culminating Saturday alone.

As of press time, plans for the 116th Sequim Irrigation Festival, to be held on May 7-15, 2011, were still in their infancy.

Visit www.irrigationfestival.com for a run-down of dates and events, including the crowning of the queen and her court, that will comprise the festival.

But one thing’s already known: The weather in Sequim in May can be outstanding.

the strongman competition is a crowd favorite during the annual irrigation festival. participants compete in feats of strength, including lifting stones weighing more than 200 pounds.

the sequim irrigation festival attracts thousands of visitors and includes parades, car shows, logging

demonstrations, a family picnic and carnival.

An array of music, theater and inter-national performances highlight the arts and entertainment scene on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Visitors are often amazed at both the quantity and quality of the cultural scene.

It’s really not so surprising though, considering that in addition to locally bred performers, many professionals retire to the area and continue to ply their trade in local groups.

The resulting collaboration creates a thriving cultural scene which lights up the gray winter months and invites visi-tors to plan, in addition to other activi-ties, an evening out on the town. n

At Railroad Bridge Park, the swift waters of the Dungeness River flow beneath a former train trestle, paths explore the river banks, and the Dungeness River Audubon Center educates visitors on the wildlife and natural world around them.

The park, so named for the historic structure that supported 70 years of rail service until 1985, is a popular spot for dog walkers, joggers and birdwatchers.

It is located about two miles west of central Sequim, accessible from North Fifth Avenue and Hendrickson, or from Carlsborg and Runnion roads.

The park is beautiful and easily accessible, with a link to the Olympic Discovery Trail and a short nature trail to glimpse the birds and other wildlife that frequent the river bank.

A wheelchair-accessible bridge leads across the Dungeness’ main channel and side channels into a paved path, which passes scenic meadow land and a few homes before linking with the Olympic Discovery Trail.

A loop nature trail winds toward the river bank northeast of the bridge. The park offers access to fishing, birding, horse paths and picnic sites. n

Port Townsend has two courses — Discovery Bay Golf Club and Port Townsend Golf Club.

Discovery Bay is an 18-hole course reminiscent of the early days of golf with a classic clubhouse.

The course’s back nine is cut out of forest and offers challenging tee shots.

Wonderful time of the yearAlthough not a common occurrence, the North Olympic Peninsula does get covered with blankets of snow from time to time. Two winters ago the Sunshine Herb & Laven-der Farm just east of “sunny” Sequim on Highway 101 lay under shawls of white snow.


bird watcHing

What local birders have known for so long is that because of the location and the diversity of habitats, the North Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places in Washington to go birding.

In the spring and summer, songbirds are in higher numbers, while the summer has shorebirds and gulls migrating through.

Mid-fall, song and shorebirds make their way into the area, and then in the winter you have water fowl.

Free, guided bird walks are conducted each Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, located at 2151 W. Hendrickson Road at Railroad Bridge Park.

The two-hour walks leave from the Audubon Center and cover 1.5 miles on the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Walks are held every Wednesday, rain or shine.Each spring, the Olympic Peninsula BirdFest draws birders from

across the region. Visit www.olympicbirdfest.org for information.

Some other excellent birding locations include: Railroad Bridge Park — flickers, kinglets, finches, nuthatches,

towhees and shrike, and the American dipper in the river.John Wayne Marina and Sequim Bay State Park — a variety

of shore and seabirds and winter waterfowl.Gardiner Beach — varied diving ducks, loons and grebes,

while an adjoining brackish pond has many waterfowl, including hooded mergansers.

Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge — a major rook-ery for Glaucouswinged gulls, black oyster-catches and cormorants.

The Port Townsend Marine Science Center — wildlife cruises in the spring and fall.

Port Angeles waterfront and ediz Hook — large numbers of shorebirds, sea ducks, brants, gulls and raptors.

Northwest Coast — Dozens of bird species migrate along the coast, including trumpeter swans, falcons, sand cranes and bald eagles. Cape Flattery at the northwest tip provides habitat for birds, and sometimes you can spot eagles perched in the trees along state Highway 112.

The Dungeness River Audubon Center is a popular place to learn about wildlife and the natural world.

It has been encouraging birding activities and educating the public on birds since before it opened the doors to its current interpretive building in 2001.

The Audubon Center is a partnership with Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and Audubon Washington.

It features exhibits, displays, programs on topics relevant to the river, wildlife and habitat and more.

Events are held throughout the year.For more information, contact the center at 360-681-4076 or

visit www.dungenessrivercenter.org.

featHered friendsBird-watching, a popular past time on the peninsula the Peninsula is located in a prime migratory path for many birds, and because of differing migratory patterns, there is always a season for watching a different type of bird.


olYmPic discoverY trail

It’s a wonderful work in progress. When completed, the Olympic Discovery Trail will run more than

100 miles across some of the North Olympic Peninsula’s finest scenery from Port Townsend in the east out west to the Pacific Coast.

The trail is a nonmotorized route, open to hikers and bicyclists and also equestrians on county-administered portions of the trail. It follows portions of the now defunct Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad right-of-way.

Currently, it can be enjoyed in pieces, with about 30 miles of the trail complete and another 30 miles under construction, including parts of the unpaved “Adventure Route” west of Port Angeles that connects with the Spruce Railroad Trail at Lake Crescent.

A recent piece of construction that makes up part of the trail is

the double-deck Elwha River Bridge, where the trail runs under-neath the roadbed on a 14-footwide pedestrian deck, keeping hik-ers, horses and cyclists away from traffic while offering spectacular views of one of the Peninsula’s most scenic rivers.

In Port Angeles, the Olympic Discovery Trail is hooked up with the Waterfront Trail, a popular running and bike-riding route that runs from the Coast Guard Station on Ediz Hook to the former Ray-onier mill site east of City Pier.

From the Rayonier site, the trail continues east toward Sequim Avenue, incorporating Railroad Bridge Park in Sequim.

Near Port Townsend, the trail incorporates the Larry Scott Memorial Trail.

For more information, click on www.olympicdiscoverytrail.com. n

step out of the carthe olympic discovery trail offers residents and visitors to clallam and Jefferson counties a safe, accessible and peaceful place to cycle, hike, jog or walk the dog — and in some places even to ride a horse.

Living on the North Olympic Peninsula gives you all the benefits of a small town, while still allowing you to be close to major cities such as Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia.

Within hours, you can be walking on a remote beach, kayak-ing on a flowing river, hiking in the mountains, or discovering a rain forest.

Many retirees consider the Peninsula an excellent place to re-tire, and many families consider it a great place to raise children.

But the Peninsula offers more than just a beautiful retreat. If you need to conduct business outside the area, Kenmore Air

— which offers the only scheduled air service on the Peninsula — charter flights, bus and transit companies as well as ferries can help you get to your destinations.

The region is home to excellent schools, with private, public and vocational options, the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center in Port Angeles that teaches vocational training to young adults, and other schools, including the Northwest School of Wooden Boat-building in Port Hadlock.

Peninsula College in Port Angeles, part of the state’s system of community colleges, offers many associate and transfer degrees, professional certificate programs and community education courses.

It was one of the first community colleges in Washington to

offer a four-year degree. Peninsula College also has satellite cam-puses in Port Townsend and Forks.

Through various distance programs, courses can also be taken locally for Western Washington University, Washington State University and Old Dominion University.

The Peninsula offers excellent health care centers, including Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles and Sequim, Jefferson Healthcare hospital in Port Townsend and Forks Community Hospital.

There are plenty of stores to find what you need and activities to keep you busy. Small speciality stores, major chain stores, a range of restaurants that offer a variety of flavors, wineries and breweries, farmers markets, fitness centers, senior centers and children’s activities abound.

Port angeles

from sea to summitnestled between the olympic mountains and the strait of Juan de fuca, Port angeles — the Peninsula's largest city — is a gateway to olympic national Park and to victoria, british columbia. it's known as the place where you can go from sea level to ski level in an hour and enjoy spectacular views along the way.

Port Angeles is considered the “authentic Northwest” on the North Olympic Peninsula, with its central location to sur-rounding towns and exciting opportunities.

Whether you want to head into the mountains and Hurri-cane Ridge, catch the ferry to Canada or just relax and shop in town, here is a sampling of what Port Angeles has to offer.

Hurricane Ridge, rising 5,320 feet above sea level, is one of Olympic National Park’s most scenic areas, offering a pan-oramic view of both the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the alpine meadows and glacier-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains.

The ridge is a family recreation area with picnicking and hik-ing in the summer.

The Olympic National Park Visitor Center, south on Race Street/Mount Angeles Road, can provide you with park details. For more information about the park, turn to Page 70.

City Pier is a great place for fishing and squidding. It has an observation tower, promenade, picnic area and short-term moorage for small boats.

A beach stroll along the adjacent Hollywood Beach — or on the walk- and bike-friendly Waterfront Trail — might be the ticket to end your day.

The City Pier area also includes the Feiro Marine Life Center, a marine laboratory open to the public.

The Feiro center features a mural of life in the early days of Port Angeles, depicting a Klallam village at nearby Ennis Creek and, a hundred years later, the men and women who settled there as part of the Puget Sound Co-operative Colony (1887-1904).

The center is open on weekends during the winter months. Phone 360-417-6254 for more information.

Clallam County Courthouse, at Fourth and Lincoln streets, was placed on the state register of historical sites in 1971 and the national register in 1988. Built in 1914, the Georgian-style brick structure has such distinctive features as a stained glass skylight, marble steps and a clock tower.

A larger, solar-heated courthouse was built onto the rear of the old building in 1979. >>

the Port angeles farmers market at the gateway transit center, located at the corner of front and lincoln streets in downtown Port angeles, is open on saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. year round. the market is a great source for locally grown food and local crafts.

in 1862, president abraham lincoln signed an executive order designating port angeles the "Second National City," with Washington, d. C., being the first.

Veterans Park, at Second and Lincoln streets, has a replica of the Liberty Bell and benches for resting and quiet time.

The bell, purchased by the community to commemorate the U.S. Bicentennial, was forged in the same foundry in England where the original Liberty Bell was made.

The Museum at the Carnegie offers a glimpse into Clallam County’s past.

Learn about early settlers, listen to stories from the tribes that call the North Olympic Peninsula home, explore the arts and examine the issues behind the creation of Olympic National Park.

Located at 207 S. Lincoln St., the Carnegie building itself — originally the Carnegie Library — is a piece of history.

Dedicated in 1919, it was one of the last libraries funded by the Carnegie Corporation in the nation.

The museum is operated by the Clallam County Historical Society, which also operates the Museum of the Clallam Historical Society.

Exhibits of early Clallam County settlement, growth, development and maritime history are on display in the lobby of the Richard B. Anderson Federal Building (named for a World War II Medal of Honor winner from Clallam County), located at First and Oak streets in downtown Port Angeles. This building is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Art on the Town is an ever-changing outdoor art project that graces the downtown sidewalks. The art ranges from the realist to

the abstract, conveyed in various media.Along Laurel Street are 11 steel sculptures called “Avenue of the

People.” These abstract pieces were modeled on everyday Port Angeles people and have become a popular photo opportunity for visitors.

Port Angeles Boat Haven on Marine Drive, west of down-town, is home to numerous fishing and pleasure boats.

A Rayonier steam locomotive, a remembrance of the North Olympic Peninsula’s timber past, serves as a landmark at Locomo-tive Park on Lauridsen Boulevard between Chase and Peabody streets. The engine was built in 1924.

The Elwha River Casino, 631 Stratton Road, features more than 120 electronic slot machines, a full service deli and gift shop. Located 15 miles west of Port Angeles, the casino is owned and operated by the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe.

Lake Sutherland is a freshwater fishing lake surrounded by pri-vate homes. It is about 15 miles west on Highway 101, just before Lake Crescent.

Freshwater Bay, where river water spills into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is a great place for an outing — from kayaking to picnick-ing. It is only 10 miles west from Port Angeles — go west on state Highway 112, then north three miles on Freshwater Bay Road.

Walk through downtown Port Angeles and you are walking atop history. Literally.

against a backdrop of Mount Baker and the strait of Juan de fuca, a gull joins his friends on a railing at port angeles City pier.

Heritage Tours offers a guided walking tour through Port Angeles’ past. The tour takes you through historic downtown buildings — including an old

brothel — past murals that tell stories, and into the “Port Angeles Underground.”When the downtown street levels were raised above the tidal flats in 1914, the Port

Angeles Underground, with its subterranean walkways and old storefronts, was created.While the majority of the Underground has been filled in due to city repairs and

water main projects over the years, one block of the Underground remains safe and accessible.

That spot is located on the west side of Laurel Street between Front and First streets and is the last stop of the tour.

Walking tours leave at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m at the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center, 121 E. Railroad Ave.

For reservations, rates and information, phone 360-452-2363, Ext. 0.If you’re interested in learning more about Port Angeles’ history, visit during the

annual Heritage Weekend, held in August. The weekend includes the historical walking tour and Underground, plus driving

tours of historic homes with a visit to the Historical Society Museum, demonstrations, displays, food and more.

Port Angeles enjoys a coastal climate that is mild

throughout the year. On average, temperatures range from the 30s in the

winter months to the 70s in the summer months.

Average rainfall is 25 inches per year in Port Angeles.

Two marine attractions in Port Angeles are within steps of each other — the Arthur D. Feiro Marine Life Center and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary’s Olympic Discovery Center.

The Feiro Marine Life Center at the entrance to Port Angeles City Pier is a sea-creature friendly place. It offers a display of marine specimens, with a large touch tank for a closer examination of marine animals. For information, rates and hours, call 360-417-6254, or click on www.feiromarinelifecenter.org.

Begin a journey to the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary by first stopping by the Olympic Coast Discovery Center, located upstairs in The Landing mall — the multicol-ored building immediately west of City Pier.

The center offers an interactive opportunity to examine the intrica-cies of the marine sanctuary off the Peninsula’s Pacific Coast, which extends from Cape Flattery at the northwest tip of the Olympic Penin-sula to central Grays Harbor County.

For information and hours, go to www.olympiccoast.noaa.gov or call 360-457-6622.

Serving as an Olympic Peninsula art museum since 1986, the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center — PAFAC — is the westernmost center for contemporary art in the lower 48 states.

Located in the shadow of Olympic National Park, its superlative physical setting pro-vides an inspiring frame for cultural offerings.

The gallery and offices occupy long time Port Angeles artist and benefactor Esther Bar-rows Webster’s former home, which was built in 1951 from the modernist design of noted Seattle architect, Paul Hayden Kirk.

The center offers original, thought-provoking exhibitions with a Northwest flavor fea-turing master and emerging artists, imaginatively displayed in the historic, semi-circular hilltop aerie.

Set against an awesome vista of marine and mountain views that are ever present through sweeping window panoramas, the living landscape and abundant natural light create a gem-like setting that makes its exhibitions sparkle.

With the creation of Webster’s Woods Art Park in 2000, the surrounding five-acre estate has been transformed into a “museum without walls” with sculptures and site works seamlessly integrated into a unique sylvan setting that is a microcosm of nearby Olympic National Park.

More than 200 works by Northwest artists have been placed through the annual renewals of Art Outside.

Visitors who walk the rustic trails will delight in discovering more than 100 artistic interventions that have accumulated over the years, and which are of equal delight to art sophisticates and five year olds.

Lectures, concerts, readings and other special, live programs complement the visual fare. PAFAC hosts the Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts each Memorial Day weekend.

The ArtPaths education program receives more than 4,000 student visitations annually and has served as a staple of local arts education for more than 15 years.

The gallery and art park are open year round and admission to the exhibitions is free.For more information, phone 360-417-4590 or click on www.pafac.org.

In the Sequim-Dungeness area, the trails are as vast as the mountains that bear them. For scenic mountain biking beauty, it’s hard to beat the hills flanking the Dungeness Valley. For a complete map of the area, stop at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Com-

merce in Sequim, located at 1192 E. Washington St.Burnt Hill Road and Johnson Creek Trail are fantastic trails for the bike enthusiast, while

Miller Peninsula is also a great little trail.For those with youngsters who want to get them interested in mountain biking, try taking

them along Robin Hill Farm County Park, a nice little trail for beginners and for the family.In Port Angeles, the Waterfront Trail is a popular route for bike rides. The mostly paved, relatively flat trail runs from the Coast Guard station on Ediz Hook

to the former Rayonier mill site east of City Pier.For a shorter ride, you can pick up the trail part-way at Hollywood Beach, just in front

of the Red Lion Hotel.If you want to venture up Hurricane Ridge south of Port Angeles, try the Foothills Trail

off Lake Dawn Road.The Spruce Railroad Trail is a great trail for mountain bikes. The trail, which is the only one in Olympic National Park that allows bicyclists, travels

along Lake Crescent as it follows an old World War I railbed.

Be sure to visit the elwha River dams this year because beginning in summer 2011, construction begins on their removal. The two dams — the 105-foot elwha Dam that creates Lake Aldwell and the 201-foot Glines Canyon Dam that forms Lake Mills — were constructed in 1913 and 1927, respectively, without fish ladders, preventing salmon from migrating upstream to spawn. Their removal, a project estimated to cost about $350 million, will restore the river to its natural free-flowing state.

DIReCTIONS: For the Elwha Dam, take state Highway 112 west from Port Angeles and turn left onto Lower Dam Road (by sign for RV Park). For the Glines Canyon Dam, take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles and turn left onto Olympic Hot Springs Road.

“The Hook,” as ediz Hook is known locally, is an ideal spot from which to view the city and the olympic Mountains rising in the background.

Ediz Hook, entered at the west end of town and “hooking” back easterly, is a naturally formed sand spit that juts into the Strait of Juan de Fuca to form Port Angeles’ deepwater harbor.

It’s a popular destination for bicyclists, runners, inline skat-ers, kite flyers and sea kayakers.

Join the thousands of local families and visitors who picnic there or pile stones on the rip rap to create small rock towers as a tribute to nature.

Access to Ediz Hook is via Ma-rine Drive, which passes through the Nippon Paper Industries USA paper mill.

Near the end of the Hook there’s a large boat launch.

It is just before the Puget Sound Pilots’ station and the entrance to the Coast Guard’s Port Angeles Group/Air Station. Entrance to the base is restricted.

Ediz Hook offers six picnic sites with windbreaks and rest-rooms. n

The site was once the location of Camp Hayden, a World War II harbor defense military base. Two concrete bunkers that housed 16-inch cannons and some smaller bunkers preserve its military history.

The adjacent Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary includes a rocky outcrop-ping that at low tide reveals starfish, sea urchins, limpets, sea cucumbers and many other forms of marine life.

The sanctuary designation means wildlife and its evidence, such as shells, must be left undisturbed for others to enjoy.

The park also provides hiking trail access to the Department of Natural Re-sources’ trails to the Striped Peak Recreation Area.

The year-round Salt Creek campground offers 90 premium campsites and in-cludes restrooms, a large playground, picnic areas, a picnic shelter, baseball field, horseshoe court, dump station and more.

The Lower Elwha Klallam Heritage Center, a project of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, is located at 401 E. First St.

The 9,808-square-foot center offers classes to the general public as well as worker training and other assistance to people enrolled in the tribe’s social welfare services.

Classes are on traditional tribal crafts such as mak-ing paddles, baskets, masks and drums, and will be open to anyone who wants to register for them.

The corner of Peabody and First streets in Port Angeles was once the site of a two-pump gas station.

The tribe was conscious of green building, sustainable technology and using recycled materials when it built the heritage center.

By locating a showplace for their art in town, the Elwha have brought their cre-ativity to the Port Angeles community.

Workshops for a community of artists is integral to the center’s purpose.In a separate, future construction project, the tribe is planning a cultural center

and museum on the Tse-whit-zen site, one of the largest and oldest Native American villages found in the nation.

The museum will house the thousands of artifacts that were unearthed in 2003 and 2004 from the site at the west end of Port Angeles harbor during construction of a dry dock to build replacement components for the Hood Canal Bridge.

Just 16 miles west of Port angeles is Joyce, a small town full of character.

The Joyce General Store on Highway 112 was built in the early 1900s and remains very much the same — false front, beaded ceil-ings, wooden floor.

Much of the store’s interior is made of remnants from the opera house and Markum house, which stood in the town of Port Crescent in the 1800s.

Joyce Museum, housed in a former railroad station, is located next door.

Built about 1915, it is consid-ered to be the last remaining log depot from the Milwaukee Line.

It houses memorabilia, photog-raphers and artifacts from railroads and historical surrounding towns.

Phone 360-928-3528 for infor-mation about the museum.

For more information about Joyce, visit www.joycewa.com.

0A5092981JOYCE GENERAL STORE

in beautiful downtown Joyce • 360-928-3568“We are the oldest continuous operating

General Store in the State of Washington”

Drop in at the Joyce General Store and step into a building that has had few changes since the early 1900’s. The false front, beaded ceiling, oiled wood floors and many of the fixtures remain the same. Much of the interior of the store is from the Markhum House Hotel which stood in the now vanished town of Port Crescent in the 1800’s.

The store carries gas, groceries, tackle, bait, and other items. There also are unique gifts, souvenirs, and Indian arts and crafts.

Warmth, friendliness, local color and a touch of history come with every

purchase. The Joyce General Store, located on Hwy. 112 between beautiful

Lake Crescent and Crescent Beach,has been in the same family for 48-

plus years. We are more than happy to take time to chat and tell you about

visiting the mythical University of Joyce. We will also give any directions to

anywhere you might be interested in.

Here there be whales.That’s the message of new signs installed along the Whale Trail, a string of marked loca-

tions in Washington state where visitors are likely to see whales in coastal waters.The project is the state’s first network of viewing sites for whale watching. A sign at Salt Creek Recreation Area — positioned in the northwest corner of the park,

near the stairs leading to Tongue Point — overlooks Crescent Bay, where gray whales are often seen. See page 51 for directions to Salt Creek.

Along state Highway 112, other Whale Trail signs — each specific to its location — have been installed at Freshwater Bay County Park, the Sekiu Overlook and Shipwreck Point.

The 20 locations that have been pinpointed on the Whale Trail so far also include Cape Flattery, LaPush, Port Townsend Marine Science Center and Dosewallips State Park.

Each site will include a marker, informational signs and community artwork.Whale Trail locations will be published on a printed map and on a website. The project will be finished in three phases, to be completed by 2013.For more information, visit www.thewhaletrail.org.

required (except when fishing in the Pacific Ocean from shore), but regulations are sometimes more strict.

Copies of the park rules and schedules may be obtained at any entry station, ranger station or park visitor center, or downloaded at www.nps.gov/olym/fishing.htm.

Park lakes close at the end of October, just when the weather starts to turn.The park even offers a trout species found nowhere else on Earth. The reclusive

Beardslee trout lives only in Lake Crescent. The hook-shaped lake on the northern edge of the Peninsula starts 15 miles west of Port Angeles.

If you want to catch these blue-backed fighters, you won’t have to buy a license. However, you also won’t be able to keep the fish as Lake Crescent is entirely catch-and-release. It is open to fishing until Oct. 31 and can only be tackled with artificial lures or flies with single, barbless hooks. >>

Visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula can hunt everything from elk and deer to bear and cougar — even rabbit and grouse.

Areas around Forks, Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and Sequim provide chances at large Roosevelt elk, while blacktailed deer can be found all around the Peninsula.

NOTE: Hunting is prohibited inside Olympic National Park.

Sequim elkThere is a herd of elk in the Sequim

area, but hunting of that herd has de-creased significantly as housing develop-ments and commercial development have put trophy elk into “no shoot” zones.

State Fish and Wildlife and Native American tribal officials have done stud-ies about how to move the elk out of the Sequim area.

Blacktail deer and elkModern firearm deer season for blacktail

deer is mid- to late October, with a late season in November.

Modern firearm general elk season is in early November.

Early muzzleloader season for blacktail

deer is in September and October. Early muzzleloader season for elk season

is in October, with late seasons in Novem-ber and December.

The early archery seasons for blacktail deer and elk are in September, with late ar-chery seasons in November and December.

Cougars and bearsFor cougars, archery season is in Sep-

tember and the muzzleloader season is September and October. Any weapon can be used from mid-October through March.

Fall black bear season lasts until mid-November.

It is illegal to kill spotted cougar kittens or an adult accompanied by such kittens. Dogs may not be used to hunt bear or cougar.

Grizzly bear and lynx, while not found on the Peninsula, are protected and may never be killed in the state.

Forest grouse, rabbits and haresForest grouse season runs statewide

Sept. 1 to Dec. 31. Blue, ruffed and spruce grouse may be shot.

Cottontail rabbit and snowshoe hare can be hunted statewide Sept. 1 to March 15. n

Marine watersFishing is closed in marine waters unless

specifically noted in the Fish and Wildlife regulations. Specific seasons in the Strait of Juan de Fuca — which includes parts of three Marine Areas (4, 5 and 6) — can be found in the sportfishing rules pamphlet.

For salmon seasons, see the Fish and Wildlife regulations.

Charter boats throughout the Peninsula send trips out for both salmon and hali-but. There are also boat docks available for those with their own tow.

SaltwaterSalmon seasons are varied, and ana-

dromous fish runs in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet and Hood Canal fluctuate from year to year.

Immature chinook, also called black-mouth, can be taken from parts of the Strait and Admiralty Inlet in November.

The winter blackmouth season is open mid-February through mid-April in the Strait and Canal. Admiralty Inlet is open to kings beginning in mid-January.

Rockfish, cod and other bottomfish are

also available in the waters off the Penin-sula, although there is a 120-foot depth restriction inside the Strait when seasons are open. In Hood Canal, many of these fisheries are permanently closed due to low levels of dissolved oxygen.

Always check the regulations before heading out. It’s also a good idea to stop by a tackle shop or sporting goods store, where last-minute rule-changes are often posted.

Those without boats also have saltwater options — like beach-casting for coho from Point Wilson (north of Port Townsend) or Quilcene Bay (on Hood Canal).

FreshwaterThe trick to fishing rivers on the Penin-

sula is hitting them at the right time. The Quillayute System contains some of the best steelhead and salmon rivers in the state. The Sol Duc, Calawah, Bogachiel, Dickey and Quillayute make up the five-river system.

The Hoh, Elwha and Dungeness rivers are also home to steelhead and salmon. However, the removal of two dams from the Elwha in September 2011 will make the river unfishable. n

Fishing/shellfish regulations: All anglers should refer to Fish and Wildlife fishing regulations before departing on any trip. Pick up a copy of the state Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet, available where licenses are sold or online at www.wdfw.wa.gov/fishing. It details fishing boundaries, regulations and licensing information.

Fishing/shellfish licenses: A combina-tion license costs $48.20 for residents and $91.40 for nonresidents, with discounted prices for youth and the disabled. Licenses specific to saltwater, freshwater, razor clamming and shellfish and seaweed can also be purchased. Fishing licenses can be purchased at most sporting goods stores.

Prices are from the state’s 2010 Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet, effective until April 30, 2011.)

Boater alert: A warning to private boaters with state fishing licenses only — make sure you stay on the U.S. side of the Strait. Those wanting to try the Canadian half must first obtain a license from British Columbia.

Hunting regulations: Information about hunting seasons and regulations can be found in the Washington Big Game Hunt-ing Seasons and Rules pamphlet or the Migratory Waterfowl and Upland Game Season rules pamphlet, both of which also lay out boundaries, restrictions and licens-ing information.

Pamphlets are usually available wher-ever licenses are sold and can also be downloaded at www.wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations.

Game Management Units 601, 602, 603, 607, 612, 615, 618, 621, 624 make up the North Olympic Peninsula.

Hunting licenses: Washington law re-quires first-time hunters born after Jan. 1, 1972, to successfully complete a hunter education class before they can purchase a hunting license.

A combined elk/deer/cougar/bear license (tags included) can be purchased for $81.20 for state residents or $794 for non-residents. Small game licenses cost as much as $38 for residents and $182 for non-residents.

Licenses can also be purchased online at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov or at sporting goods stores.

(Prices are from the state’s Big Game Hunt-ing Seasons and Rules pamphlet, effective until March 31, 2011, and the Migratory Waterfowl and Upland Game Season Rules pamphlet, effective until Aug. 31, 2011.)

More information: Peninsula Daily News publishes local outdoor columns in the sports section every Thursday and Friday. They are also available on the newspaper’s website, www.peninsuladailynews.com.

Looking for bucket-loads of oysters and clams or going after crab and shrimp are popular pursuits on the Olympic Peninsula.

Seasons fluctuate regularly. Always check the state fishing regulations pamphlet the for seasons and rules contact the state Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife before departure.

The best way to figure out what’s open and what’s not is to visit wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish. Looking up the information online will save you the headache of wading through the state shellfish regulation hot line (866-880-5431).

Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge sets its own seasons and rules. Contact the refuge at 360-457-8451.

Licenses are required for shellfish harvest-ing and may be purchased at most tackle shops and a variety of multi-purpose stores.

ClammingRazor clams are available on many

coastal beaches, but domoic acid, a natu-rally occurring marine toxin that can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning in humans, sometimes causes digging closures.

However, in recent years, beaches have routinely opened to harvesting. Kalaloch Beach, which runs along the south coast of the Peninsula off U.S. Highway 101, opened to digging several times during the 2009-10 season after being closed for two straight seasons because of poor clam populations.

Other species of shellfish, including a va-riety of hardshell clams, are currently con-sidered unsafe and should not be harvested from an beach on the state coastline.

For the latest information on which shellfish are and are not safe, and dates and locations on seasons, call the state Depart-ment of Health’s beach closures/shellfish toxin hotline at 800-562-5632 and log onto the Fish and Wildlife website at wdfw.wa.gov.

OystersThe best oyster beaches are along Hood

Canal. Quilcene Bay on the Hood Canal is known for producing some of the North-west’s most delicious oysters. To the south in Brinnon, oyster-gathering opportunities are also said to be excellent.

Local seafood lovers know that beneath

Try your hand at shellfishing the pebble and sand along the shore of the day-use Wolfe Property State Park, just north of the Hood Canal Bridge by a half mile, are mussels, steamer clams, geo-ducks and rock clams.

Crab and shrimpCrab harvesting is typically best in

Sequim and Dungeness bays, but Dunge-ness and red rock crabs can also be found elsewhere along the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Townsend to Neah Bay.

You can catch crab by a variety of methods, including pots and ring traps. Many people enjoy wading for crabs on low tides at locations like Pillar Point and Dungeness Bay. Catch-record cards for Dungeness crab are required and available wherever licenses are sold.

There are shrimping opportunities in Port Angeles Harbor and a few other areas. Hood Canal is easily the most popular shrimping destination.

Normally the areas have short seasons and are only open certain days of each week. Hood Canal, for example, was only open four days in May 2010.

Call ahead or consult www.wdfw.wa.gov to check on availability prior to your visit. n

wiNeries

The North Olympic Peninsula is home to several world-class wineries that have made names for themselves.

Visit them to taste wines as distinctive as their loca-tions, while exploring hidden back roads and seeing spectacular countryside.

Most of the local wineries are small, producing less than 2,000 cases a year, and they are definitely hands-on operations.

Often you’ll find the winemakers themselves pouring in the tasting rooms and greeting visitors.

A handful of the wineries have banded together to form the Olympic Peninsula Wineries Association. Information on the association can be found at www.olympicpeninsulawineries.org.

Some hold events throughout the year, with popular ones pairing the wines with delectable treats such as chocolate and cheese.

Many of the wineries utilize grapes from the Colum-bia River Valley, Oregon and California, although some grow their own cool-climate grapes or utilize berries from local farms for fruit-flavored wines.

In any case, the wines are made using classic meth-ods that produce the perfect complement to any meal.

Visit all of them by doing a winery-loop tour, or stop by just one or two for a quick glass. Plaques and medals from various wine competitions testify to the success the wineries have had with their vintages.

Marymere Falls trail in Olympic National Park

olympic NatioNal parKolympic National park — a world heritage park designated for its rare qualities — can be explored on snowshoes, cross-country skis or by car.

While Olympic National Park is a popular destination year-round, the scene is slightly different during the winter.

Don’t be surprised if the roads are closed. In winter, the roads can be treacherous, often difficult to drive. Sometimes, the roads are not even plowed.

For most of the more arduous trips, you’ll need a topo-graphic map, which you can buy at visitor centers and ranger stations.

There are 168 miles of roads that provide access to vari-ous points; however, 99 miles of the roads are gravel, most of which are closed in the winter. All park roads are “spur roads” off U.S. Highway 101. No roads traverse the Olympic wilderness.

The Olympic National Park Visitor Center on the route to Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles is fully accessible, as is the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center in the West End.

Other centers and ranger stations provide varying levels of accessibility and hours of operation.

Several nature trails are paved and wheelchair-accessible. Others are gravel, but fairly level, and they may be accessible with some assistance.

More than a million visitors enjoy Olympic National Park each year. The wilderness in all its rugged beauty is neverthe-less a fragile environment. To help protect animal and plant life, waterways and each person’s wilderness experience, the National Park Service creates and enforces regulations.

Campers must take care and be aware of the impacts of their actions.

Olympic National Park is just as exciting to visit in the fall and winter as it is during the warmer spring and summer months. Just be sure to check the weather forecast in case of snow or rain.

olympic NatioNal parK


MountainsThe Olympic Mountains are not very

high. Mount Olympus, the highest, is just under 8,000 feet, but the Olympics rise almost from the water’s edge and intercept moisture-rich air masses that move in from the Pacific.

As this air is forced over the moun-tains, it cools and releases moisture in the form of rain or snow.

At lower elevations, rain nurtures the forests, while at higher elevations snow adds to glacial masses that relentlessly carve the landscape.

The mountains wring precipitation out of the air so effectively that areas on the northeast corner of the Peninsula experience a rain shadow and get very little rain.

Surrounded on three sides by water and still crowned by alpine glaciers, the Olympics retain a distinctive character that developed from their isolation.

Hurricane Ridge is the focal point for snow and winter recreation, with snow-shoeing and cross-country and downhill skiing opportunities.

CoastMore than 60 miles of Pacific Ocean

coastline form a vital component of Olympic National Park.

Whatever the season, walking along the sandy beaches during low tide is a great way to explore the diversity of the intertidal zone.

This coastline has remained little changed except for the impact of the pounding surf and storms.

It looks much as it did when Native Americans built their first villages thou-sands of years before Europeans arrived.

Today the Hoh, Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, Makah, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Skokomish, Quile-ute and Quinault continue to live along the shores where their ancestors did so long ago.

The coast is where the land meets the sea, vibrating with life and energy —

arches and sea stacks; the roar of crash-ing waves; the calls of gulls, bald eagles and black oystercatchers; dramatic sunsets and the vastness of the ocean.

At low tide you can walk toward the surf, stopping at tidepools along the way.

If you squat down and spend some time just looking, you will be amazed at what you see as your eyes start ferret-ing out objects that look like rocks, but which in fact are small sea animals.

GlaciersGlacial ice is one of the foremost

scenic and scientific values of Olympic National Park. There are about 266 gla-ciers crowning the Olympics peaks.

The prominent glaciers are those on Mount Olympus covering 10 square miles.

Beyond the Olympic complex are the glaciers of Mount Carrie, the Bailey Range, Mount Christie and Mount Anderson.

In the company of these glaciers are perpetual snowbanks that have the su-perficial appearance of glacial ice.

The climate influencing Olympic glaciers is wet and temperate.

The movement of glacial ice past and present has produced striking geological features in the Olympic Mountains.

The lake basins, U-shaped valleys and jagged peaks are the products of massive glacial erosion that occurred thousands of years ago when the year-round climate was much colder.

ForestThere are four basic types of forests on

the Olympic Peninsula: temperate rain forest, lowland, montane and subalpine.

Temperate rain forest is found at low elevations along the Pacific Ocean coast and in the western-facing valleys of the Peninsula where lots of rain, moderate temperatures and summer fogs exist.

The lowland forest grows farther inland from the coast and above the rain forest valleys.

The lowland forest gives way to the montane forest.

As elevation increases, temperatures cool and more moisture falls as snow; growing seasons get shorter and the subalpine zone takes over.

The lower portion of the subalpine zone consists of continuous forest, but in the upper part of this zone the forest thins out.

Increasing elevation causes even more severe climatic conditions.

Trees become fewer, shorter and more misshapen. When tree line is reached, beyond which trees do not grow, a pro-fusion of wildflowers often rewards your eye in a vivid display that is an effective foil to the scenery below, now visible be-cause the trees no longer block the view.

Rain forestThe temperate rain forest in the val-

leys of the Quinault, Queets and Hoh rivers are protected and contain some of the most spectacular examples of the Sitka spruce community.

This ecosystem stretches along the coast from Oregon to Alaska; other tem-perate rain forests are found in several isolated areas throughout the world.

The forests are excellent destinations once a bit of the snow melts. Winter is the wet season and the rain forest radi-ates in deep, healthy greens.

Precipitation here ranges from 140 to 167 inches — 12 to 14 feet — every year.

This abundant rainfall produces some of the largest trees in the world.

The mountains to the east also protect the coastal areas from severe weather extremes.

Seldom does the temperature drop be-low freezing in the rain forest, and sum-mertime highs rarely exceed 80 degrees.

Nearly every bit of space is taken up with a living plant.

Some plants even live on others. These are the epiphytes, plants that do not come into contact with the earth, but also are not parasites.

Mosses, lichens and ferns cover just about anything else. n


Snowshoeing at Hurricane Ridge

wiNter playgrouNdwith a vertical rise of 665 feet, hurricane ridge offers cross-country and downhill skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing fun in the winter, plus breathtaking views of the olympic mountains.

If your idea of a perfect winter vacation is mountain peaks and fun in the snow, the North Olympic Penin-sula is the place to be.

Port Angeles is the gateway to Hurricane Ridge, a towering 5,223-foot winter playground with breathtak-ing views of the interior face of the Olympic Mountains.

Road open dailyThis year, the road to Hurricane Ridge will be open

daily during the fall and winter, weather permitting.In the past, the 17-mile road from Port Angeles to the

Ridge was only open on the weekends during the late fall and winter seasons, Monday holidays and a two-week period at the end of the year.

Through fundraising and donations from Clallam County, the cities of Port Angeles and Sequim, local businesses and individuals, the community raised the necessary $75,000 to match a $270,000 appropriation from the U.S. Department of the Interior to keep the road open daily from late fall through the beginning of spring on a trial basis.

To get to Hurricane Ridge, follow Race Street south out of Port Angeles. The road becomes Mount Angeles Road.

The Olympic National Park Visitor Center will be on the right and can provide you with information about road and snow conditions, maps and activities.

From Mount Angeles Road, watch for the sign and bear right onto the Hurricane Ridge Parkway.

Always call the park at 360-565-3131 before you head up for updated road and weather conditions.

Safety firstAfter entering the park at Heart O’ The Hills, about five

miles south of the visitor center (a $15 seven-day entrance fee or $30 annual park pass is required), you begin your ascent to the mile-high beauty of Hurricane Ridge.

Drive carefully and heed speed limits. The road can be icy, especially where snowmelt has frozen across the winding road. Carrying chains is required.

At the top, next to the downhill ski area and at the starting point for all the area’s cross-country trails, is the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center.

You can view the majestic Olympic Mountains from the center’s upper levels and take in interpretive exhibits.

It offers food service, a gift shop and a ski shop with snowshoes, alpine and cross-country ski rentals. n

hurricaNe ridge


Downhill thrill seekershurricane ridge ski and snowboard area offers runs for all levels.

With a summit elevation of 5,223 feet, the Ridge has 40 to 160 inches of snow on the ground during the winter.

The Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area is a small, family-oriented ski area, offering to residents and visitors alike a quality winter sports experi-ence, without the high cost and congestion of most ski areas.

The Ridge boasts some groomed areas, but for the accomplished skier or snow-boarder, the steeps, bowls and glades are well worth the effort it takes to hike there.

The Hurricane Ridge Win-ter Sports Club is a nonprof-it organization that operates both rope tows and the Poma lift atop the mountain on selected weekends.

The club operates the ski lifts under permit with Olympic National Park.

It strives to be a good steward of the environment while promoting healthy outdoor activities for the youth, community and visitors of the Olympic Peninsula.

During the winter season — usually mid-December through March — the rope tows and Poma lift operate on weekends: Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

While the Hurricane Ridge Road will be open daily this winter, the rope tows and Poma lift will continue to run only on weekends and holidays.

A five-week Ski School program for ski and snowboard lessons is offered starting in late January for ages 4 and up and all skill levels.

Private lessons are also available, subject to instructor availability.In March, citizens ski, snowboard and snowskate races are held as well as a

Special Day in the Olympics for special needs citizens. For more information and rates about the Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snow-

board Area, call the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club at 360-457-2879 or visit www.hurricaneridge.net. n

A small kids’ tubing and sledding area is located across from the visitor center. It is open and super-vised Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, snow and weather conditions permitting.

Always call the information line at 360-565-3131 before heading up for tubing, as it may be closed due to unsafe, icy conditions.

The Ridge does not offer tube rental, nor are there facilities at the top for inflating tubes.

There is no tubing, hiking or sledding allowed in the downhill ski areas.

tubing and sledding

Port Angeles is the gateway to Hurricane Ridge, a towering winter playground with breathtaking views of the interior face of the Olympic Mountains.


For many visitors to Hurricane Ridge, the panorama of Olympic peaks and for-ested trees invites a slow pace of exploration and enjoyment.

During winter, a blanket of white snow won’t keep people from enjoying the trails. One of the best ways to achieve that pace during that time — late December to early March — is on snowshoes.

The Ridge offers 20 miles of trails and routes. The Olympic National Park Visitor Center, located in Port Angeles just before the turnoff to the Hurricane Ridge Park-way, can provide you with information on the routes.

Just west of the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center, you can walk along the Hurricane Hill route, which offers a little bit of something for every skill level. Or, just explore the meadows above the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center, which offer gentle, easy ter-rain for everyone and excellent views in fair weather.

For those who don’t want to venture out on their own and want a bit of an educational experience with the walk, guided snowshoe walks with park rangers are usually offered on Saturdays, Sundays and Monday holidays from around late December through March, as long as the road to the road is open.

The walks last 90 minutes and cover a one-mile loop through the trees and around the ridge, where the views include the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island. The naturalist talk is kid-friendly, as rangers discuss the difficulties faced by flora and fauna at such high elevations.

Dress warmly with hats, gloves, sturdy waterproof boots, sunglasses, sunscreen and insulated layered clothing.

Space is limited so register at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center at the summit at least 30 minutes before the scheduled walk.

Snowshoes are provided, and a donation of $5 per person helps the park continue the walks and maintain the snowshoes.

You can also rent snowshoes either at the ski shop on the lower level of the Hur-ricane Ridge Visitor Center or outside the park, or bring your own.

Organized groups such as youth or school groups must make advance reserva-tions for snowshoe walks. Space is limited so groups should call Olympic National Park at 360-565-3136 for reservations and more information. n

Unmarked and ungroomed routes give cross-country skiers and snowshoers a chance to explore the forests and meadows around Hurricane Ridge.

These routes range in difficulty from easy to quite challenging.

The terrain and weather in the Olympic mountains can create ideal conditions for avalanches.

If you are headed to Hurricane Ridge or elsewhere in the high-country of the Olympics, always check current avalanche forecasts. Check at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center for information and current conditions.

The Olympic National Park Visitor Cen-ter, on the route to Hurricane Ridge from Port Angeles, is open daily.

Hours vary according to season.There you can find visitor informa-

tion, exhibits about the park’s natural and cultural history and a hands-on discovery room for kids.

The Discovery Room offers children a wide array of indoor entertainment.

A collection of activity drawers contain puzzles and games to teach children about geology, history and tidepools.

Other exhibits include a life-sized model of a forest ecosystem that includes a stuffed elk and a stuffed cougar.

An award-winning 25-minute orienta-tion film is shown upon request.

There are also two nature trails; one is accessible with some assistance. Note that wet weather can make for a harder hike than normal.

Phone 360-565-3130 for more informa-tion about the park.

Park information is also available at the Forks Parks and Forest Information Cen-ter, Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center and Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center. n

Cross-countryCross-country skiing

is popular on the ungroomed trails and

in backcountry bowls of Hurricane Ridge.

The turnoff from U.S. Highway 101 to Olympic National Park’s Storm King Ranger Station at Lake Crescent leads to several picnic tables nestled in

trees and makeshift sites along the shoreline.The area contains restrooms and access to portable water, a ranger station, a

boat launch and trails.One of the most attractive aspects of the picnic area is the wide array of

recreational opportunities that await after the picnic is over.Some nearby trails include the Moments in Time Nature Trail, Marymere

Falls Trail and Storm King Trail. More information about hiking is available at the ranger station.

If you’re looking to diversify the trip, both the Elwha and Sol Duc areas and trails are less than a 30-minute drive from Lake Crescent.

In the spring and summer, enjoy the hot spring soaking pools (and freshwater pool) at Sol Duc. Day-use passes are available if you are not a guest of the resort.

From the west end of Lake Crescent, the Hoh Rain Forest is about an hour, while the coast can be reached in about 45 minutes.

Although Olympic National Park boasts more than 900 campsites, many are only open in the summer.

A handful of campgrounds are open year-round, but be aware that most of these are primitive sites with pit toilets and no potable water, and may have lim-ited access due to snow in the winter.

Phone the park at 360-565-3130 to find out if a campground is open and accessible.

All campsites are on a first-come, first-serve basis (with the exception of Kalaloch during the summer). Call the park to find out if a campground is full.

The nightly fee for camping in one of Olympic’s established campgrounds ranges from $10 - $18, depending on location and season, with the majority charging $10-$12 per night.

Wheelchair-accessible restrooms are available at 11 of the park’s 16 campgrounds. Several campgrounds also offer paved campsites and picnic tables with extensions to accommodate wheelchair-users.

Campfire restrictions are in effect for many areas, so please check first. Prac-tice minimum-impact camping. Pack out your own trash and leave the site as if you were never there.

Complete regulations, recommenda-tions and information for safe camping in the area are available for free at the Olympic National Park Visitors Center, the Wilderness Information Center and entrance stations.

For the more adventurous — and ex-perienced — camper, you can venture into the park’s wilderness.

Wilderness Camping Permits are required for all overnight stays in the park’s backcountry.

Wilderness use fees apply to all over-night trips into the park’s backcountry and consist of both a permit registration fee and a per person nightly fee.

For less rustic visits in the park, the park’s lodges offer charming, comfort-able accommodations.

Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort, Lake Cres-cent Lodge and Log Cabin Resort at Lake Crescent are generally open late spring to early fall. Kalaloch Lodge and Lake Qui-nault Lodge are open year-round.

Pedaling along the shore of Lake Crescent

camping in the park

Plan ahead and prepareHike on existing trails down the middle

of the trail, even if they are wet or muddy. Camp in existing sites and minimize impact by not altering them.

Dispose of waste properlyAlways remember this important guide-

line: Pack it in, pack it out.Inspect your campsite and rest areas for

trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food and litter.

To wash yourself or your dishes, carry water 200 feet away from streams or lakes. Avoid using soap. Strain out food particles and scatter your dish water.

Leave what you findDo not touch cultural or historical struc-

tures or artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them.

Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species. Do not build structures or dig trenches.

Respect wildlifeNever feed or approach the wild resi-

dents of the park.These actions change natural behavior

patterns and make animals dependent on people’s handouts, which can increase their chances of disease and winter mortality.

Feeding wildlife is also illegal.

To reach the seafront towns of Clallam Bay and Sekiu, drive west from Port Angeles on state Highway 112, the Juan de Fuca National Scenic Byway.

The drive offers fabulous views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and you can stop for a picnic at Pillar Point or on the beach along the way.

Clallam Bay and Sekiu (pronounced SEEK-you) are the fishing headquarters for the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Here you can find charters for fishing — hali-but, salmon, lingcod and rockfish are good catches — plus diving, whale watching, birdwatching and general sightseeing.

The beach area between the two towns is a good place to beachcomb, hunt agates and explore tidepools.

Continuing on from Clallam Bay to Neah Bay, there are year-round sightings of seabirds and maritime animals. Dozens of bird species migrate along the coast, including trumpeter swans, falcons, sand cranes and bald eagles.

Watch also for whales, such as gray, humpback, pilot and orca, which pass the coast on their semian-nual Pacific migrations and sometimes in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

In Neah Bay, be sure to visit the Makah Cultural and Research Center, the museum on the left as you enter town.

The focus of the museum is the Ozette collection, the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe.

The artifacts come from a 500-year-old Makah village located eight miles south of the Makah Res-ervation. The site was preserved by a mudslide and uncovered in 1970.

Other items on display include artifacts from an archaeological dig at the Hoko River, west of Sekiu. The dig revealed a fishing camp nearly 3,000 years old and a rock shelter about 1,000 years old.

You can find mysterious, centuries-old rock carv-ings in the area as well. These petroglyphs were carved by natives on a promontory on the beach leg of the nine-mile Ozette trail.

Nearby Shi Shi Beach — considered one of the most beautiful beaches in America — is surrounded by towering sea stacks, jagged headlands, lush tide-pools and an old growth forest.

Shi Shi (pronounced SHY-SHY) is an arcing 2.3-mile beach that sits between the photogenic Point of Arches to the south and a crop of sea stacks to the north. A mostly flat, 2-mile trail leads to the beach from a small parking area off Hatchery Road.

A short drive past Neah Bay brings you to Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point of the continen-tal United States. Visible from the point is the Cape Flattery lighthouse on Tatoosh Island, built in 1858 and now automated.

You will need a $10 per car permit to hike the Flattery Trail. It can be purchased at the museum, Washburn’s General Store and other shops.

Because of the North/West Coast’s location beneath the Pacific flyway, birdwatchers find great opportuni-ties to observe more than 250 different species that visit the Neah Bay area.

Keep a watchful eye out for bald eagles, especially the rare albino that is occasionally seen between Clal-lam Bay and Neah Bay.

Wildlife at Cape Flattery

North/west coast

true nature lovers visiting the olympic peninsula will want to include a trip to the North/west coast in their itinerary. the coastal area includes clallam Bay and sekiu, twin seafront towns about 50 miles west of port angeles, and Neah Bay, home of the makah tribe.

In the early spring, an immense gathering of hawks waits at Cape Flattery for good flying conditions to cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca and continue the journey north.

Wherever you go, be sure to obey any signs warning about areas that are open to tribal members only. And in order to keep this untamed part of the country as wild as it is, the rule of the Makah should prevail: “Leave only footprints; take only photographs.”

For information about Clallam Bay and Sekiu events and attractions, contact the Clallam Bay/Sekiu Chamber of Commerce at 360-963-2339 or visit www.sekiu.com.

Ozette LoopAt 9.3-miles round trip, the Ozette

Loop can be a long day hike or a short backpack trip.

The trail offers a part of the coast that is inaccessible by car.

Upon reaching Cape Alava, visitors are immediately greeted with a collec-tion of large, spruce-encrusted islands that loom offshore.

To the north is Tskawayah Island, so close to shore that it can be reached on foot at low tide.

This island is part of the Ozette Reservation and climbing onto it is not permitted.

Far to the west, the Bodelteh Islands appear to be a single mass from this vantage point. The long, lean ridge of Ozette island rises across a rocky tidal flat to the southeast.

Cape Alava is reputed to be one of the best places on the coast to see ma-rine mammals, including the majestic

gray whale.To get to the Cape Alava trailhead,

take Highway 112 to Hoko River Road west of Sekiu and follow the signs.

Sand Point TrailAn ocean campground can be

reached after a short 3-mile walk that promises crashing breakers, sandy beach and Makah petroglyphs on rock.

Two trails depart from Ozette Lake Campground. The preferred trail is Sand Point, which is shorter than the one to Cape Alava and easier because it is all on boardwalk.

The sandy beach is more attractive to kids than the cannonball-shared rocks at Cape Alava.

To get to the trailhead, take Highway 112 to the “Ozette Lake” sign and turn onto Hoko-Ozette Road.

Follow 22 miles to the trailhead at the north end of Ozette lake. A ranger station is located at the trailhead.

In 1970, tidal erosion uncovered an ancient whaling village at Ozette, parts of which had been covered by a mudslide hundreds of years ago.

The artifacts found now make up part of the Makah Cultural and Research Center in Neah Bay, located on the left as you enter town. Its Ozette collection is the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe.

On display are about one percent of the 55,000 artifacts recovered from Ozette, all between 300-500 years old.

The museum also has large, illustrated displays with information on Makah his-tory, canoes, a 26-foot-long skeleton of a 31-ton gray whale suspended over hand-crafted cedar canoes plus a gift shop.

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 360-645-2711.

It’s easy to keep youngsters entertained on the North Olympic Peninsula.Kids will love simply being out in nature collecting

rocks and shells along Salt Creek, Rialto Beach or one of the area’s many beaches.

Riding a bike along Olympic Discovery Trail is an easy trek that parents and children can enjoy together.

Opportunities for outdoor exploration are endless, but here is a small sampling of other kid-friendly activities for you and your little ones:

Aglazing Art Studio, 207 W. First St. in downtown Port Angeles, offers a creative outlet for people of all ages. Families can paint their own ceramics, fuse glass or play around with wet clay.

The studio has more than 4,000 bisque pieces to choose from, making the possibilities for artistic expression endless. Phone 360-477-9957 or click on www.aglazingart.com for more information.

Have fun at an old-fashioned arcade at the Gateway Gaming Center, 222 N. Lincoln St., Port Angeles (located beneath the India Oven restaurant in down-town Port Angeles).

More than a dozen arcade games are available, including a few classic games that can be played for just a quarter. For more information, call 360-808-8808 or click on gatewaygamingcenter.com.

Dream Playground in Port Angeles is an ideal loca-tion for a family outing. It’s located at Erickson Park, a wooded area on Race Street near Civic Field.

Built in September 2002 by one of the largest group of volunteers the county has ever seen, it took just five days for more than two thousand locals to

build the delightful playground.You’ll find picnic tables, public restrooms and a

skateboard park nearby that features a three-bowl layout and extra smooth concrete.

Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave., Sequim, is a popular spot with softball fields, playground equip-ment, BMX track and skateboard park.

With an off-leash dog park, you can even bring the furry friend along for some exercise.

For the future angler, Port Angeles holds an annual fishing derby for kids in the spring. The free event is held in April at the Lincoln Park Ponds and is for children ages 5-14 years.

If it’s rainy or dreary outside, take the kids to one of the Peninsula’s fine libraries for a read.

For more indoor educational entertainment, visit any of the museums on the Peninsula.

History, art and more are the focus of the differ-ent museums, and many have exhibits that change throughout they year.

The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center has an in-door, full-size Olympic pool and shallow pool. What makes SARC a kid favorite is the wild, tunneled water slide that’s good for hours of fun.

Port Townsend and Port Angeles also have indoor swimming pools.

Local farmers markets offer good food, local prod-ucts and lots of fun.

Port Angeles holds a farmers market year-round at the Gateway Center downtown. The market is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

Other Peninsula towns offer seasonal farmers mar-kets from summer into fall. n

Native Americans are a strong part of the North Olympic Peninsula’s history.

Today, the tribes maintain strong cul-tural identities and provide many services for tribal members while also supporting the surrounding communities.

Jamestown S’KlallamEast of Sequim in Blyn, the Jamestown

S’Klallam tribe’s campus offers visitors entertainment, art, food and culture.

The tribe operates several businesses, including the popular 7 Cedars Casino, which features live entertainment, res-taurants, slot machines, gaming tables and more.

For a glimpse into Native American art, visit the Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery, located at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center.

It features a wealth of artwork, a major-ity of which comes from the North Olym-pic Peninsula and also Vancouver Island.

The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course, located on Woodcock Road, is known for its crab-shaped sand trap, found on the par-5 third hole of the 18-hole course.

Lower Elwha KlallamThe Lower Elwha Klallam tribe is

immersed in many projects, including the Elwha River dam removal project, salmon restoration, salmon hatchery, and Heritage Center — to name a few.

Tear-down of the dams, scheduled to begin in 2011, is the nation’s largest dam removal to date.

The Lower Elwha Klallam tribe has lived on the river for more than 2,700 years. In fact, Port Angeles was once home to a huge village called Tse-whit-zen, which was unearthed in 2003 at the west end of Port Angeles Harbor.

The tribe’s new Heritage Center opened in 2010. The Elwha also oper-ate the Elwha River Casino, located 15 miles west of Port Angeles.

QuileuteThe Quileute gained recent fame due

to the prominent role many Quileute characters have in the Twilight novels.

While the fictional Quileute have legends of vampires and werewolves, no such stories exist in reality — although the tribe and many of the places men-tioned in the books, including LaPush and First Beach, are quite real.

Visitors can stay at the popular Quileute Oceanside Resort and take in the beauty of the coastal beaches, try some surfing, and watch for whales and other wildlife.

HohThe Hoh tribe is a small tribe in West

Jefferson County, located along the Hoh River. The reservation’s present 640 acres are located on flood plain at the

mouth of the Hoh River south of Forks.With acres of land the tribe acquired,

plus the transfer of another 37 acres of Olympic National Park to the tribe, the reservation will expand to 1,102 acres, and allow the Hoh to move members to higher ground and out of the river’s flood zone.

MakahThe Makah Nation is located on

the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula. It is the home of the Makah Cultural and Research Center, which houses, among other things, the Ozette collection, the largest archaeological col-lection of any U.S. tribe.

From the reservation you can also reach Cape Flattery, the most northwest-ernmost point of the lower 48 states.

QuinaultThe Quinault Nation consists of the

Quinault and Queets tribes and descen-dants of five other coastal tribes: Quileute, Hoh, Chehalis, Chinook and Cowlitz.

Their home is located in the rain-soaked lands on the southwestern por-tion of the Peninsula.

The reservation is primarily in Grays Harbor County, with some parts in Jef-ferson County.

Among the tribe’s enterprises is the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino. n

If you’re looking for a great place to get away from the ordinary, try the West End.

Abundant rain forests, miles of wild rivers and coastal beach-es are just part of the West End, a region rich with scenery.

From the coasts and the rain forests to Native American his-tory and pioneer legend, it’s one-stop shopping for adventure.

The lush forests in the Quinault, Queets, Hoh and Bogachiel valleys are some of the most spectacular examples of primeval temperate rain forest in the Lower 48 states.

The drive to get there is beautiful in its own right, but the going can be a bit slower than most Peninsula trips.

The main route, U.S. Highway 101, twists and turns around Lake Crescent, and you may compete with recre-ational vehicles and log trucks, but the appreciation for natural beauty, pristine even outside of Olympic National Park boundaries, makes it worthwhile.

Here are of the highlights of a trip to the West End:

ForksForks acts as the gateway to the Hoh Rain Forest, a tem-

perate rain forest that is part of Olympic National Park.Near the south end of town, you’ll find the Forks Timber

Museum and the Forks Loggers Memorial with its 12-foot tall carved logger.

The free museum has exhibits depicting the history of log-ging in the area. Among the displays are an old-time steam donkey, threshing machine and a bunkhouse.

Forks Historic Walking TourThis self-guided tour allows those venturing for a look

back in history to stop at one of nine signposts in downtown Forks that feature pictures and stories about historic build-ings or happenings.

Stop by the Forks Chamber of Commerce at 1411 S. Forks Ave., or phone 360-374-2531 for more information.

Ocean beachesAnother glory of the West End is the accessibility of its

beaches. One of the most reachable is Rialto Beach, about 15 miles west of Forks near LaPush.

Located on the north side of the Quillayute River, visitors can drive to the beach and watch the surf. A 1.5-mile hike (3-miles round trip) with take you to “Hole-in-the-Wall,” a unique tunnel carved in the cliff by ocean waves.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the Quileute reservation at LaPush while exploring First Beach.

During the summer, surfing is a popular activity at the beaches of LaPush. >>

Also close to LaPush are Second and Third beaches near LaPush; both involve hikes but are worth the effort.

Ruby Beach, located about 35 miles south of Forks, is one of the most scenic beaches in the state that is accessible to the public.

It offers rugged sea stacks, flat sand and a small stream that flows through it just at the base of the short trail from the parking lot.

The beaches at Kalaloch are easy walks from car to shore. Kalaloch beaches are numbered 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1.

Hoh Rain ForestEast of U.S. 101, this rain forest — which is the result of the

West End getting 100-plus inches of rain each year — is one of the best examples of a temperate rain forest in the world.

But unlike Chile and New Zealand, the flora and fauna aren’t tropical. Instead, the wilderness is temperate and primeval, with ferns growing the size of large shrubs and trees as tall as football fields are long blocking out the sun.

The forest lies on the west side of Olympic National Park, less than an hour from Forks. It is accessed by the Upper Hoh Road, off Highway 101.

Even if you stay in your car, the green giants of the Hoh Rain Forest are visible.

Throughout the winter season, rain falls frequently in the

Hoh Rain Forest, contributing to the yearly total of 140 to 170 inches (or 12 to 14 feet) of precipitation each year.

These trees can grow as tall as 300 feet with a circumference of 23 feet around. Just a hint: One of the biggest trees is right next to a small parking lot.

Hall of MossesThis hike starts at the visitor center at the end of Hoh River

Road. The trek is a an easy, 0.8-mile loop that takes about 45 minutes round trip.

Near the center of the Hall of Mosses is the Spruce Nature Trail, a 1.2-mile loop through temperate rain forest to the Hoh River. It is about an hour round trip.

QuinaultTravel farther south on Highway 101 and you’ll come across

additional lush, green scenery at Queets, and as the road begins to wind inland a bit, take a drive to Lake Quinault.

This glacier-carved lake is surrounded by the old-growth trees of the Quinault Rain Forest. Sometimes called the “Valley of the Rain Forest Giants,” this area is home to some of the state’s largest trees.

A 0.2-mile trail near Lake Quinault Lodge will take you to the largest Sitka spruce tree in the world. n

A camera is important to carry along on a visit to the Kalaloch beaches.This area of Washington’s wild, wondrous coast — about 35 miles

south of Forks along U.S. Highway 101 — has attractions for visitors in all four seasons.

Ruby Beach is the northernmost tip of the seven main spots in the Kalaloch area. From there, marked trails 1 through 4 offer access to pristine, sandy beaches.

Right in the area of the lodge and campground are several unnamed paths that also allow close contact with the sand and waves.

In the absence of fog, sunsets spread a spectacular light over the sea, setting up the potential for a photographer’s paradise.

Through spring, visitors also can enjoy the crash and bang of rough-water storms.

But visitors should take note of the tides and be careful when walking the beach to avoid incoming logs that wash up in the tide. Some are very large and have been known to strike and kill people.

Tidal updates are posted at each of the trailheads.Migrating shorebirds and sea mammals such as otters can be observed,

especially with binoculars. At low tide, seek out the tidepools for a glimpse at all the marine life.

According to Place Names of Washington, Kalaloch (pronounced KLAY-lock) is the Quinault tribe’s term for “good place to land.”

The book describes the beach as the only safe landing spot for canoes between the Hoh and Queets rivers.

Those who want to stay a night or two in the area have a couple of op-tions. Olympic National Park provides a campground with flush toilets and water, although no utility hookups are available for recreational vehicles.

Kalaloch Lodge also has rustic cabins and other accommodations at hand.Both locations are open all year; more information can be obtained by

calling the park at 360-565-3130 or the lodge at 360-962-2271. n

The Olympic Peninsula features more than 2,132,300 acres of federal lands for visitors to enjoy.

Of this area, more than 633,600 acres are managed by Olympic Na-tional Forest, which blankets the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and surrounds much of Olympic National Park.

Most of the forest falls within Clallam and Jefferson counties, with parts also in Grays Harbor and Mason counties.

Its diverse landscape includes temperate rain forest, radiating moun-tain ranges, large lowland lakes, cascading rivers and saltwater beaches and tidelands.

Set up camp at state parks

Visitors should know which agency manages the site or lands they plan to visit because opportunities and regulations differ from one agency to another.

Visitors can enjoy Olympic National Forest for one day or several, from the comfort of a cabin or from a tent. Cabin rentals, campgrounds, wilderness areas and picnic sites can all be found within the forest.

Picnic sites in Olympic National Forest are located at developed recreation sites, including several camp-grounds and a cabin.

All campgrounds in Olympic National Forest are available only on a first-come, first-serve basis.

A recreation pass is needed for visiting Olympic National Forest. Recreation passes do not cover fees for winter sno-parks, cabin rentals, or climbing and wilderness permits. They also do not cover developed campgrounds.

A National Forest Recreation Day Pass costs $5 per day and is honored at all Forest Service entrances or day-use fee sites in Washington and Oregon. An an-nual Northwest Forest Pass is available for $30.

For those who might visit a lot of the public lands, an annual Interagency Annual Pass is available for $80.

Information about passes and permits can be found by visiting www.fs.fed.us/r6/olympic/passes or calling 1-800-270-7504. For more information about Olym-pic National Forest, visit www.fs.fed.us/r6/olympic.

The Olym-pic Peninsula’s northern and Pacific coasts offer a wealth of beaches for recreational fun, but if you plan to explore them, keep an eye on the tides and surf.

Rescues by the Coast Guard, Olym-

pic National Park rangers or both are occasionally necessary for people who either failed or didn’t know to consult a tide table and weather report before heading out.

Headlands extending out to the water’s edge can create alcoves and grottos that may be readily accessible by thin strips of beach exposed during low tides.

Unfortunately, when the tide turns, the incoming waters can trap visitors who must frantically scramble to reach high ground.

Tide books are available at many shops catering to tourist or saltwater fishermen.

Peninsula Daily News publishes a tide table daily on its weather page for vari-ous areas around the North Olympic Peninsula.

Or just go to www.peninsuladailynews.com and search for “tides.”

The tide table also helps determine the best times to fish.

Grab your shovel and bucket during extremely low or minus tide and go clamming on the exposed beaches or crabbing in the shallow waters.

But beware of “killer logs,” as the locals call them.

Particularly on the Pacific coast, the tall conifers that make the North Olympic Peninsula so beautiful can be a hazard when washed up by the surf as

Warning: Watch out for the tides logs and driftwood on the beaches.As you clamber over these beached

logs, it’s hard to believe you can’t always see them coming, but as a wave crests, it can obscure your view of what is riding behind it.

Always keep an eye on the waves, whether you’re in the water or walking along the shore.

And remember that the logs so easily tossed ashore are still loose. Many a beach-comber has fallen and incurred injury when logs shift on the beach. n

For visitors needing a quiet refuge, the Peninsula’s waterfalls offer the perfect opportunity to get away from it all.

One of the most popular sights is Marymere Falls, only 35 minutes from Port Angeles in Olympic National Park.

This 1.8-mile round trip trail leads day hikers through some of the park’s most pristine environment, weaving through old-growth forest.

To reach the falls, take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles to the Storm King Ranger Station on Lake Crescent.

The trailhead begins as a paved walkway that runs alongside of the ranger station, a re-creation of the origi-nal station built in the early 1900s.

You’ll see a nice view of the north side of the lake before wandering inland toward the falls.

For about the first three-quarters of a mile of the trail, wheelchairs may be used with assistance.

The final trek to the falls is a steep uphill climb, with the choice of two lookouts, one about 50 feet above the falls, the other at its base.

Other falls worth seeing:Madison Creek Falls: Follow U.S. Highway 101 to

Olympic Hot Springs Road near the Elwha River bridge, turn south, and follow the road about three miles to the park entrance station. This is the park’s most accessible waterfall — only about 150 yards from the parking area over a fully-paved, wheelchair-ready trail.

Sol Duc Falls: Take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles for 30 miles, or 26 miles east from Forks. Turn southeast on the Sol Duc Hot Springs road and fol-low it 14 miles to the trailhead parking lot. Trail-guide maps are available at the trailhead. There is a wide gravel trail and a railed viewing area at this falls.

Falls View: Follow U.S. Highway 101 south of Quilcene to Fallsview Campground (about 3½ miles). A nature trail in the campground leads to viewpoints of this long waterfall, which cascades over a rocky cliff.

Check out www.olympicpeninsulawaterfalltrail.com, a site that identifies more than 20 cascades and includes photos, driving directions and information on best viewing times. n

From Grays Harbor to Neah Bay, more than 600 rocks, reefs and islands dot the rugged Olympic Peninsula coastline.

Three wildlife refuges totaling 430 acres are within the boundaries of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and Olympic National Park.

The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary is a 3,300-square-mile underwater set-aside that stretches from Cape Flattery in the north southward to Copalis and seaward between 30 and 40 miles. It also shares about 60 miles of coast-line with Olympic National Park and Native American tribes.

It encompasses some of the world’s richest marine habitats — both above and below the waves.

Hundreds of seabirds and other marine animals can be observed from numerous vantage points along the way, particu-larly near Kalaloch and LaPush.

During migration seasons, more than one million birds gather in the area.

The Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge runs from Cape Flattery to the Ozette area. Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge extends from that southern boundary to about Kalaloch.

The last of the three is Copalis National Wildlife Refuge, from south of Queets to just north of Grays Harbor.

All of the islands and other features are closed to the public to protect the habitat. But visitors can still observe crowds of seabirds, either from land or sea.

Binoculars and cameras are good accessories to have on hand.Most of the islands are small enough that they have never

earned names on a map. But Destruction Island and Point Gren-ville are among some of the more well-known locations.

Refuge staff warn that boaters should stay at least 200 yards off the islands, both for their own safety and to avoid disturbing the flighty creatures who live there.

The refuge areas are the primary breeding grounds for the tufted puffin, with its striped head and peculiar beak and the common murre, which resembles a little penguin.

The region, where 80 percent of the state’s seabird population nests, supports 12 types of marine birds.

In addition, peregrine falcons and bald eagles reside with their cousins. Several types of seals, sea lions and otters also stop by the local kelp beds.

President Theodore Roosevelt established what would be-come the refuge complex by executive order in 1907.

The public pushed for the action because seabirds were being exploited for their eggs and feathers. n

wildlife refugeswildlife refuges running along the pacific coast present plenty of opportunities to see seabirds and marine life.

Taking the ferry across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles may not exactly rank as an overseas journey, but travelers definitely are in another country when they set foot in Victoria.

You can make the approximately 20-mile trip to Victo-ria for a one-day trek, a weekend fling or a long-term visit, using the quaint city with British atmosphere as the start-ing point for an extended tour of Vancouver Island.

The ferries from Port Angeles land in downtown Victo-ria — a city with an estimated metropolitan population of more than 300,000 — after a scenic cruise across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and through Victoria Harbour.

The Fairmont Empress Hotel dominates the waterfront as ferry passengers arrive at Victoria’s Inner Harbour from Port Angeles.

Harbor tours give visitors a different perspective of this Canadian city.

Victoria is an excellent city for sightseeing by foot.First-time visitors might want to start at the Greater

Victoria Visitor Information Center, on the waterfront across from the Empress Hotel, and just a short walk from the ferry terminal.

The center has maps, brochures, information on accom-modations and lots of friendly advice.

You won’t want to miss the Royal British Columbia Mu-seum, located within walking distance of the ferry landings. The museum has special exhibits, but its mainstay is the unparalleled First Nations area.

The National Geographic Theater at the museum presents an IMAX experience with a six-story-high screen showing several movies that provide worldwide adventures.

Visitors will find plenty of shops along Government Street.

The real ‘‘main street,’’ however, is Douglas Street, and everything from major department stores to out-of-the-way specialty shops can be found on side streets off Douglas between Courtney and Pembroke.

Food-fanciers should note that some of the finest baker-ies in the world are found on Fort Street between Douglas and Blanshard.

Elsewhere, gourmet restaurants are dotted throughout the downtown area, featuring everything from escargot to fish and chips.

And authentic British and Irish pubs are a great way to take a break from shopping and walking.

Old-fashioned London double-decker buses leave on tours from in front of the Empress Hotel for such attrac-tions as the world-famous Butchart Gardens.

Or, if you’re looking for a more romantic kind of trans-port, there are horse-drawn carriages available.

Victoria offers several first-run movie theaters, a number of drama companies, a symphony orchestra, an opera company, dance companies, night spots featur-ing famous entertainers and concert tour appearances by major rock bands and jazz performers in a modern indoor arena. n

Take an international day trip to Victoria, where you will find a city with old British charm only a ferry ride away.

Port Angeles and the North Olympic Peninsula not only offer natural beauty and recre-ational opportunities, they also are the gateway to an interna-tional experience.

The privately owned ferry MV Coho takes both passengers and vehicles between Port An-geles and Victoria year round.

From Oct. 12 to Jan. 2, 2011, departures from the Port Angeles ferry landing, at 101 E. Railroad Ave., are daily at 8:20 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Return trips from the Victoria ferry landing, at 430 Belleville St., are at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Crossing time is 90 minutes. Passenger fares are $15.50; children 5 to 11 are $7.75; vehicle and driver are $55; motorcycle and driver are $32; and a bicycle is $6.

Departure times and fares are subject to change, so al-ways check schedule informa-tion for the MV Coho by phon-ing 360-457-4491, or visiting www.cohoferry.com.

The passenger-only Victoria Express ferry (360-452-8088; www.victoriaexpress.com) pro-vides transportation between Port Angeles and Victoria.

It has a crossing time of 55 minutes and has operated only during summer. But its owners recently announced they are exploring the possibilities of year-round weekend service.

As of publication, weekend service was extended through October.

With the Parliament Buildings, Royal British Columbia Museum, downtown shops and restaurants, Chinatown and more all located within walking distance of the ferry landing, and easy transportation to other popular sites, Victoria is an easy city to explore even if you leave the car state side.

Victoria’s Chinatown, founded in 1858, is the oldest and most intact such district in Canada. If you enter from Government Street, you’ll pass under the Gate of Harmonious Interest. The gate is made of Taiwanese ceramic tiles and elaborate, decorative panels.

Explore the shops and stands as you wander through the narrow alleys like Fan Tan Alley, which is only five-feet wide.

One of Victoria’s oldest landmarks, Market Square, is a block south of China-town; an easy 5-to 10-minute walk from Inner Harbour. Meticulously preserved to maintain its unique character, Market Square is the heart of Victoria’s Old Town.

It has more than 35 independently owned and operated shops, eateries and a nightclub. Heritage brick buildings surround an open air courtyard that is great for lunching in the summer sun among colorful, hanging flower baskets.

A bit farther from downtown — so you may want to catch a ride — the Art Gal-lery of Greater Victoria, 1040 Moss St., a is a public art museum with almost 17,000 works of art.

When it first opened in 1951, the gallery exhibited art in the historic Spencer Mansion. The mansion, built in 1889, is now adjacent to the museum’s seven mod-ern galleries.

You can also catch a ride — you can travel by pedicab for a relaxing tour — to Craigdarroch Castle, 1050 Joan Crescent, a lavishly furnished 1890s mansion. The legendary Victorian mansion was built on a hill overlooking Victoria. It has 39 rooms, 87 steps to the tower, stained glass and woodwork. n

A visit to Victoria’s Parliament Buildings can be a rewarding experience for the average American.

It is a chance to peer into a governmental system that is vastly different from those that are familiar to most American citizens.

But the mysterious ways of provincial government are eas-ily demystified by a tour of legislative hub and a glimpse into the workings of lawmakers.

Even when the British Columbia Legislature is not in ses-sion, the grandiose buildings themselves are a lesson in his-tory and grand architecture.

Located on Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the seat of British Columbia’s provincial government is among the first things a visitor sees when arriving at Victoria by ferry.

At night, the imposing rotunda and granite buildings are illuminated by 3,300 bulbs outlining the exterior, much like Christmas all year long.

The parliament grounds are dotted with statues depicting figures from regional history, overseen by a seven-foot tall, gold-covered rendition of 18th century explorer Capt. George Vancouver atop the central dome.

Fountains and gardens surround the building, providing a place of respite with a feeling of historical significance.

Victoria has been the capital of British Columbia dating

back to colonial days, with the first government buildings erected in 1859.

Construction on the current legislative buildings began in 1897, with additions built in several phases from 1911 to 1915.

The buildings are a gallery of the finest materials, including tons of marble from as far away as Verona, Italy, that surround provincial leaders.

Stained glass is everywhere, including the showcase Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee window in the reception room near the Legislative Chamber.

Self-guided tours are available.Annually, about 900 school groups use a visit to parlia-

ment to learn about comparative governments. This includes hundreds of groups from Washington state.

All tours are free of charge. Sessions of British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly are open to the public.

Parliament buildings are a short walk from ferry terminals for visitors from Port Angeles. Dozens of hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfast establishments are within walking distance.

Downtown shops, the Royal British Columbia Museum and the Fairmont Empress Hotel are also within sight.

For more information on tour availability and times, call 250-387-3046. n

Most visitors to Port Angeles plan to make at least a day trip to Victoria as part of their North Olympic Peninsula travel plans.

All U.S. citizens and permanent residents who cross the international border must carry a valid passport or an accepted traveler program card to return to the United States via sea, including passengers aboard the ferries to the Port Angeles port of entry.

This is due to the implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initia-tive, a homeland security measure that resulted from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

It also affects travel to Mexico, Ber-muda and Caribbean nations.

Citizens of the United States and Canada will need to present one of the following:

• Passports, passport cards or trusted traveler program cards — NEXUS, SEN-TRI and FAST.

• Enhanced tribal cards (when avail-able), U.S. military identification with military travel orders, U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine ID document when trav-eling on official maritime business, Native American tribal photo identification cards, Form I-872 American Indian cards.

Oral declarations of citizenship alone are not accepted.

Visitors to the North Olympic Peninsu-la who are not U.S. or Canadian citizens will be required to have a passport and

possibly a visa to enter the United States.A permanent resident of the U.S. will

be required to show his or her immigra-tion “green card” at the ports of entry into Canada and the United States.

Travelers must hold a machine-read-able passport to be eligible. All U.S. and Canadian citizens 15 and younger only need proof of their citizenship with an original or photocopy of a birth certifi-cate or citizenship card.

Groups of U.S. and Canadian citizen children 18 and younger, when traveling with a school or religious group, social organization or sports team, will be able to enter under adult supervision with originals or copies of their birth certifi-cates or other proof of citizenship.

What started as a sweet pea and a single rose in 1904 has blossomed into The Butchart Gardens, a 55-acre cascade of color that overwhelms the senses.

Well more than 1,000 varieties of flowers can be enjoyed during a walk through the gardens, but al-low yourself plenty of time — one visit can take several hours.

The former cement factory and quarry site at Tod Inlet can be reached by taking the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, then trav-eling 12 miles north by bus or car.

Transit and tour buses are found just east of the Victoria ferry landing.

Butchart is really a series of gardens, each with a distinct flair.

The gardens’ full-time, year-round gardeners are con-stantly planting different flowers, which are identified in a published flower guide noting different flowers by common names written in several languages.

The gardens keep with the Victorian tradition of seasonally changing the outstanding floral displays.

In autumn, fall colors take over the gardens.During winter, walk past the Twelve Days of Christmas

displays and go skating on the 3,300-square-foot outdoor rink that is installed just for the holiday season. After dark, enjoy the colored lights that illuminate the plants.

Many plants still grow in the temperate winter climate and eventually makes way for the new spring blooms.

The gardens are open year-round. Admission varies, so call toll-free at 866-652-4422 or visit the website at www.butchartgardens.com for more information. n

more than 1,000 varieties of flowers can be smelled, touched and ogled during a walk through the world-class gardens.

When you tire of the traditional tour-ist sights in Victoria, you can seek solace at Witty’s Lagoon, Fort Rodd Hill or Goldstream Park

All are within 15 minutes of down-town Victoria.

They are lower Vancouver Island’s hideaways and provide a perfect break from the island’s tourist attractions.

You can spend an hour or a day at Witty’s Lagoon, 12 miles west of Victo-ria near the coastal town of Metchosin, which offers a 56-hectare park (2.47 acres equals 1 hectare), blending dense woodland, tidal lagoon, sandy beach and rocky shore — and near seclusion.

Bilston Creek snakes through forested second-growth, laced with delicate lady fern. It’s only a short hike along the trail (be sure to bring hiking shoes that can handle mud) before you leave the dense greenery and come upon the lagoon. Here, the waters are warm and shallow, and sea snails, rock crabs and a variety of fish migrate from the ocean.

At low tide, you can traverse a spit that leads to Tower Point to look for purple sea stars or white acorn barnacles.

Occasionally, a harbor seal or sea lion swims by amid the kelp.

Heading back toward Highway 1A near Colwood, stop at Fort Rodd Hill and historic Fisgard Lighthouse. The fort dates back to the early 1800s, when it was built to guard Esquimalt Harbour.

This former base for the Royal Navy’s Pacific Squadron still boasts bunkers, a battery tower, headquarters and living quarters. Visitors can look down the barrels of original guns, explore under-ground artillery magazines and search-light encampments.

The lighthouse is reached by a short causeway that connects the fort to Fisgard Island. Constructed in 1860, it is the old-est on the west coast of Canada.

Inside the lighthouse, displays inform the visitor of the “Graveyard of the Pacific” that has claimed so many ships over the last nearly 200 years.

You should leave an entire day for a visit to Goldstream Provincial Park, fewer than 10 miles north and west of Victo-ria, just off Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway).

From the parking lot, take a 10-min-ute walk through 600-year-old Douglas firs, red alder, cottonwood, red cedar and arbutus to the Freeman King Nature House and the Goldstream Estuary. n
