@mearagants: And let’s keep it this way. I love that Olympic National Park has its accessible, touristy spots and it’s backcountry wilderness, gotta earn it spots. BUT this is a psa to be prepared for a long drive when you visit! #olympicnationalpark #besthikesolympicnationalpark #olympicpeninsula #portangeles #hohrainforest

onawalkwithme :

Yup! And the roads are twisty and largely deserted. The road to Cape Flattery almost took me out!

Charles Beans & Me :

And lets keep it that way

Erin Clan :

Bring an audiobook and download your map because there’s limited service (and let’s keep it that way)

Nina Pretty (not so) Ballerina :

I was just there for 3 days and I swear on my life I did at LEAST a full 24 hours of driving combined but it was the best time spent ever

girlmom💙 :

No airplanes can fly over The Olympic National Park

🦇Spooks🦇🏳️‍🌈 :

Anything under 4hrs is not a long drive🙄 , a long trip is like 7hrs or more

roose :

and us locals ask that when you are driving to please pull over and let us go by because we have places to be. dr appointments, work, etc. we agree that it's beautiful but we live here. we see it everyday and we drive these roads everyday. be respectful. most tourists can't/won't even drive the speed limit.

hdwm?hehegonnagetmedoe :

Why is she saying it like it's a bad thing? i'm so grateful to have regions that are not littered with pavement

Sunshine :

WASHINGTON is also so big. I feel like the maps don’t do it justice.

Rusty Shackleford :

"This place is a geographical oddity"

Captain Archibald 🇨🇦 :

I live in hoodsport and had a friend ask if we could pop over to folks for a day. almost 4 hour drive

Lotus85 :

Few weeks ago I went to “the tree of life” it took 3 1/2 hours to get there from Kingston.

Amie9801 :

Only mountain range with no rd through in lower 48.

goyoyosailing :

Don’t tell the guy in charge. He’ll plan on building luxury condos and golf courses and logging the whole park.

Peter King :

I did some trails in the interior, and as an old guy it took me two days to GET to it not counting driving.

alexis_ped :

That’s why I tell all my friends that think Olympic is a weekend trip to go somewhere else lol

William Hoose :

2 hours away from everywhere

Anna Anderson :

Bri :

i will never be mad about driving past lake crescent a million times a day

Mel :

And that’s why I camped in forks

Mr Friendly :

Fortunately every drive out there is a beautiful one. Btw that map is absolutely crazy, jealous

isabella luna :

Yea, and that’s a good thing!

Matt :

It’s longer than that in the summer traffic

ryguy19922 :

Why didn’t they just put them closer together?
