immediately start to form as to how they envision the region. The Olympic Peninsula is considered the true northwest by many; with majestic mountains and ancient glaciers that adorn the peaks of Olympic National Park. Then there are the lush massive trees and the amazing array of the color green evident in the forests. Others are drawn to the relaxing view of a vessel plying the Strait of Juan de Fuca or a huge ship at anchor in the windswept harbor. The visual impressions are everywhere. Port Angeles has a genuine downtown with a proud heritage, and ties to the past and the Native American culture are evident in the murals and names used in the region. Being out on the water is one of the best ways to enjoy the northwest and for many the authentic northwest is best appreciated on The Coho Ferry crossing the Strait of Juan De Fuca between Port Angeles and Victoria or paddling a kayak on one of the many rivers or bays.
Visit and experience for yourself; Port Angeles, The
Authentic Northwest.

Port Angeles enjoys a coastal climate and is mild throughout the year. Temperatures during the daytime range from 40° in winter months to 70° in the summer months. Average rain fall is 25 inches per year for Port Angeles.
Two major natural features, water and mountains, impact the weather of Port Angeles. The water, which nearly surrounds the area, keeps the temperature amazingly comfortable year-round. Seldom does it get really cold, and the summer has surprisingly low humidity. The Olympic Mountains also play a big role in influencing the weather. Because they rise over 7,000 feet and are south and west of Port Angeles, the mountains create a rain shadow effect for the Port Angeles/Sequim region. This combination of a temperate climate and a reasonable amount of rain make it ideal for humans, but plants also love it, which is why flowers, gardening, and boutique farming are so popular.

Spend a few hours or a few days in Port Angeles and you will appreciate the statement —Port Angeles: The Authentic Northwest.
Deciding on what to do is always a tough decision when on vacation, and in an area like the Olympic Peninsula the choices become difficult, because there is so much to do.
We hope this list will help with the decision process:• DrivetoHurricane Ridge,whichis40minuteseachway.
of the lushest rainforests in the world. Drive about two hours west from Port Angeles on Hwy. 101 to the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is 19 miles inland from Hwy. 101. Three loop trails near the Visitor Center are easy to stroll and give a great sampling of the area. The Center is also the kick-off point to climb Mt. Olympus.
Ocean BeachesThe rugged coastline of Olympic National Park can be easily explored at Rialto Beach and La Push. Take Hwy. 101 west from
Port Angeles for about 90 minutes and turn west on State Hwy. 110. On the north side of the Quilayute
River is Rialto Beach—a beautiful spot to enjoy the surf and rugged beach. On the south side of the Quilayute River is the Tribal reservation of the Quilayute and the town of La Push. Nearby First Beach and to the south Second Beach are easy to reach and offer beautiful beach access. This Northwest coast experience will leave you in awe of the beauty of Olympic National Park.
More InformationOlympic National Park is open all year. Some roads and facilities are closed in winter. Entrance fees (good for 7 days) are collected at various locations within the park from May through October and Hurricane Ridge year round. Cost is $15 per vehicle. Annual entrance passes can be obtained at entrance stations for $30 or ask about senior rates.

In 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt issued a proclamation creating Mount Olympus National Monument to protect the summer range and breeding grounds of Olympic elk. Olympic National Park was established on June 29, 1938. The coastal strip was added to the park in 1953. In 1976, Olympic National Park became a Man and the Biosphere Reserve and in 1981 it was designated a World Heritage Park.
Three Parks in OneOlympic National Park has three distinct major areas—the glaciered mountains and high country of the interior; the lush rain forest of the west-facing valleys; and the rugged wilderness coastline. The vastness of the park can seem daunting—you can drive completely around the park on Hwy. 101, yet no road goes all the way through the interior of the Peninsula. Below are a few areas that will allow you to experience the character of the “three parks.”
Hurricane RidgeHurricane Ridge, only minutes from the center of downtown Port Angeles, offers spectacular views of the high country and the Olympic Mountains. The 19-mile drive is breathtaking and you can stop at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center and learn more about the mountains and the park. Winter at the Ridge is fantastic and the road is open Friday-Sunday and holidays. You will need to have chains in the car to access the ridge December-March.
Hoh Rain ForestMoisture-laden air from the Pacific brings an average of 140 inches of annual rainfall to the Hoh Valley. This moisture has created one

CampingCamping can have a variety of meanings, depending on whom you ask. For some it means hiking to a remote lake with all your gear on your back. To others having the ability to drive to the site with all the camping toys in the back of the van and have the amenities of showers, toilets and family play areas, makes the most sense. Finally, there are those with fully stocked and self-contained luxury motor homes and
trailers that create the best camping memories.
Well not to worry, Olympic National Park and the surrounding area offer something for everyone. The park encompasses over one million acres with the majority holding a wilderness designation. For the backcountry hiker/camping enthusiast there are few better places to get away from it all. There are state, county and national campgrounds scattered all through the Olympic Peninsula, giving you the opportunity to choose from a mountain setting to a campsite within ear shot of breaking waves. If you need a spot to park your rig for the week, there are over a dozen locations for you to select from. Many with full hook-ups and RV supplies. Pick your view of mountains, water, or forest and plan to take lots of photos.

For campgrounds and RV info see the list of RV Parks and Campgrounds on page 22.
Marina at Sequim Bay, this is a great spot to see what catch is being off loaded or relax and watch the boats.
Breaking up the ride over a couple of days is becoming popular and several B&B and lodging options close to the trail make this an ideal weekend getaway.
You can also drive to several parking areas located along the trail allowing you to explore different sections.
For more biking adventures; head to Victoria on the Coho for the
Galloping Goose Trail. You will need to clear customs, so remember you must have a passport or enhanced driver’s license.
There are many other rides for the mountain biker, or the road bike enthusiast. Check the local bike shops for a ride that suits your skills and ability.
The trail also is ideal for running and walking with several events scheduled each year.

Cycling and running events use the trail several times a year. See the events calendar on page 4 for details.
Port Angeles and Sequim offer a wonderful off-highway mostly paved trail called the Olympic Discovery Trail that takes you past exquisite views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Olympic Mountains and through the rural country side.
The trail will eventually run from Port Townsend to the Pacific Coast, but for now the primary areas are the nearly 60 miles in and around Port Angeles & Sequim. Head west through the Port Angeles downtown, past the marina and the interesting paper mill out to Ediz Hook, here you can hear the waves crash on the rocks and enjoy the view of Port Angeles and the Olympic Mountains.
Further west the trail embarks on a wonderful section which connects the community of Port Angeles to the Elwha River. Cyclists
will be rewarded with a view of the river from the lower deck of the bridge that is beautiful. The sections of the trail between the river and the “west end” are coming together nicely so check the web site for the latest opening. There is also The Adventure Route Trail that is geared to mountain bikes or hiking but for the adventurous the rewards of spectacular views are worth the
extra effort. Visit Adventures through Kayaking listed below for tours and bike rentals offered for this section of trail.
East of downtown a spectacular 5 miles of trail hugs the water. This section offers opportunities for birding, and looking for sea life. Then head inland and over the first of several bridges as you cross Morse Creek. The next five miles is a little hilly but soon you are back to the nearly flat sections wandering through the Sequim Dungeness Valley. One of the highlights is the Railroad Bridge Park and the crossing of the Dungeness River. This is also where the Audubon Society is located and a stop to look at their displays is a real education.
The City of Sequim beckons you to find the shops and restaurants that this community offers. Take the short detour to John Wayne
In Port Angeles a walk in the park means Olympic National Park and the choices for destinations are fabulous. Choose from simple day hikes that literally start within the city limits of Port Angeles to multi-day wilderness backpacking adventures. Hiking is a year round activity so no matter what the season there is a trail for you.
Hiking
Marymere Falls, Spruce Railroad Trail, Hurricane Ridge Trails, Ocean BeachesHiking is a passion for many that come to Olympic National Park and nowhere else will you find the diversity of hikes in such a short distance like you will find on the Olympic Peninsula. From the moisture-laden moss-covered trails of the rain forest, to wild trails along the ocean where the Pacific waves are crashing just steps away. Then there are the beautiful tree-lined hikes to a secluded waterfall, and topping
them all are high country hikes where the views seem to go on forever.
For the more adventurous there are wilderness and backcountry hiking trails where you can
go for days and not see anyone. Experience a true mountaineering outing and go all the way to the glaciers. As you can see, the hikes are truly amazing.

Port Angeles has access to flat water, white water and sea kayaking, which in turn has allowed Kayaking to be one of the more popular active oriented family outings in the Port Angeles area.
Listed below you will be led to just a few of the many popular sites in and around the community, and some of the local merchants that can help you in town and online.
Port Angeles Harbor This large protected area is best paddled when winds are light or coming from the west. You can put in from Hollywood Beach at the City Pier, Port Angeles Boat Haven or Ediz Hook. The views of the Olympic Mountains are outstanding and getting up close to the huge ships at anchor is a real experience.
Lake Crescent Just 17 miles west of Port Angeles on Hwy 101. This spectacular lake within Olympic National Park with crystal clear water allows you to schedule a full day of activities. The area offers wonderful flat water kayaking. Stop at one of the restaurants with views of the lake. There are several points to put in and over 30 miles of shoreline to explore.
Freshwater Bay Take 101 west to State Rt. 112 and then turn right onto Freshwater Bay Road and you will end up at a Clallam County boat launch. The area is protected and offers an ideal area to start your paddle. Beautiful vistas, wildlife and sealife make the extra effort worth it. Be aware of your abilities and don’t over extend yourself. The tides and wave action can sometimes make the paddling challenging.

Boating FishingDiscovered in 1769 because of the wonderful sheltered harbor and deep water access, Port Angeles throughout the years has been a gracious host to ships coming and going from the Pacific.
Ask someone that has visited Port Angeles to provide a vivid memory, and many will comment about the huge ships at anchor in the harbor. Reasons for stopping in Port Angeles ranges from topside repair, waiting to unload or load in one of the large cities of the Puget Sound, or simply to give the crew some shore leave. However Port Angeles is much more than a harbor for large ships. Recreation boaters will find some of the finest cruising anywhere. Just 18 miles across the Strait of Juan de Fuca lies the famous San Juan and Gulf Islands. The Port Angeles Boat Haven offers transient moorage, gas, diesel, power, ice, fresh water, boat hoist, launching ramp, restrooms, showers, waste pump-out, bait and tackle. Next to the marina the Boat Yard provides covered and open work areas, a 133-ton marine railway and a 40 ton straddle hoist.
Additional launch facilities for small boats are located in Port Angeles near the end of Ediz Hook, and also at the public ramp by the Port Angeles Yacht Club.
In nearby Sequim the John Wayne Marina, offers a park like location in Sequim Bay. The marina has transient moorage, power, water, gas, diesel, restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and waste pump out.
Also in Sequim Bay is the Sequim Bay State Park. Mooring buoys are available and there is limited dock space, with restrooms, showers and campsites on shore. There are several excellent anchorage options in Sequim Bay should you wish to not take advantage of the shore facilities.
Beautiful Lake Crescent offers several launch facilities and the crystal clear water and beautiful mountain views are sure to make boating here a memorable experience.

Port Angeles offers wonderful fishing. Within a short amount of miles you can test your skill in salt water, lakes, streams, rivers and even catch shellfish.
Be sure you have the proper state fishing license and know the seasons for the different species of fish and locations where you can fish.
The Strait of Juan de Fuca offers huge halibut and salmon. Shellfishing is also very popular and crabbing for the famous Dungeness is a passion for many. The area offers fantastic river fishing. The Dungeness, Elwha, Bogachiel and Sol Duc rivers are all short drives from Port Angeles and there are several areas where you can put-in with drift boats or walk to the river for wading access. Guides are available or you can go out on your own. If you do not have time to fish for your dinner be sure to visit a local restaurant for extremely fresh seafood or savor the delightful flavor of smoked fish which makes a perfect gift to bring back home.
Ediz Hook Boat LaunchLocated on Marine Drive on Ediz Hook, just south of the Coast Guard Station. Space for parked trailers is limited.

Olympic Coast & Sol Duc River - For extreme kayak adventure head to the coast or the rivers.During the winter months and into spring the waves are big and the rivers run fast, ideal conditions for surf kayaking and white water river kayaking. But in the summer the conditions can be dead flat on the coast making the seastacks an easy paddle destination.
Dungeness Bay and Sequim Bay East of Port Angeles near the community of Sequim two terrific kayaking areas beckon. The Dungeness Bay which is protected by the famed Dungeness Spit offers an excellent wind and wave block. This area also offers the opportunity to paddle out to the Dungeness Lighthouse. Two launch sites are located off Marine Drive. Sequim Bay is best accessed via the boat ramp of John Wayne Marina. This beautiful protected bay offers ideal conditions except when the wind is from the south. Seals are plentiful as are starfish which are easily viewed near the rock jetty. The park like setting of the marina is perfect for a picnic before or after paddling. Remember northwest water is cold so wear the appropriate gear and always wear a PFD.

Port Angeles is only 18 miles across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the city of Victoria, the capital of British Columbia.
The BlackBall Ferry Line M.V. Coho is a vehicle and passenger ferry operating year round to Victoria BC. Sailing times vary depending on the season.
A decidedly British feeling is ever present in this charming city to
the north. While you’re there, explore the beautiful world-famous Butchart Gardens or stroll around the pictur-esque Inner Harbour. Spend your afternoon touring on a double-decker bus and sipping tea at the majestic Empress Hotel. For the more adventurous, book a whale watching adventure.

Since it was officially established as the location of the Custom House in 1861, Port Angeles has had a long and colorful history and gives credence to the marketing slogan used by the community; Port Angeles, The Authentic Northwest.
Don Francisco de Eliza discovered the deep-water harbor in 1791. All trade in and out of Port Angeles came through the harbor and today the Port of Port Angeles still maintains a vigorous harbor which is vital to the economy.
Port Angeles was established as a townsite by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 by executive order. The Board of Trade in 1890 called Port Angeles the “Second National City,” Washington, D.C. being the first. Most of the land was held as a military reserve until pioneers “jumped the reserve” in 1890 and Congress agreed to the sale of lots in 1894.
The forest and fishing industries played major roles in the boom and bust economy of Port Angeles. Trees of mammoth proportions were shipped through the Port as forests around Port Angeles supplied the building materials for Seattle, San Francisco and beyond. Salmon was king of the Strait and plentiful for all to fish. Both industries have slowed as concerns over habitat for bird and salmon are analyzed and protective zones and regulations have been developed.
In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt established the Mt. Olympus National Monument. Olympic National Park was established in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Over the years generations of tourists and travelers have come to the Olympics for rest and rejuvenation.
Learn more by visiting the Clallam County Museum displays in the Federal Building at First and Oak St., the restored Carnegie Library Heritage Museum on Lincoln St., or take a guided Heritage Walking Tour which runs Mon–Sat year round. The community also has historical murals in the downtown.

The Olympic Peninsula is rich with history regarding Native American tribes.
Within close proximity to Port Angeles are the tribes of Lower Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S’Klallam, Makah, Quileute, Hoh and Quinault.
Downtown Port Angeles was once a thriving Klallam village known as Tse-whit-zen and other significant villages of Native Americans have been found in the region. Including the famous village of Ozette, which was covered by a massive landslide for many years. But a major archeological dig uncovered precious artifacts which led to the opening of the Makah Cultural Museum and Research Center. This is a must visit when in the area.
The local tribes play a significant role in the economy of the Olympic Peninsula and are involved with fishing rehabilitation, tourism and events, recreation, the gaming industry, lodging, and a variety of other activities.
A very visual display of the cultural resurgence are the tribal canoe journeys that happen each summer, the magnificent totem poles of the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, or the natural beauty of the La Push coastal village. There are many tribal shops and displays throughout the Olympic Peninsula waiting for your exploration.

Population Profile• Approx.20,000ofthecounty’s65,000liveinPortAngeles.
Restaurants of the North Olympic Peninsula have local ingredients to assist in helping create culinary memories.
Admit it, one of the most important parts of a vacation is the food. Being nearly surrounded by water, the selection for seafood throughout the year is varied and abundant. Your visit is not complete unless you have ordered a local salmon or Dungeness Crab. Also abundant are oysters, mussels, and clams. Depending on the time of year, salmon, halibut, cod, and rockfish provide chefs with wonderfully fresh product. Perfect for mailing are the popular smoked fish products.
However, the freshness does not stop with the seafood. The temperate climate of the Olympic Peninsula allows local farmers to grow vegetables year-round. Farmers explain that because of the lack of pollutants in the air and also, the quality soil and very consistent temperatures some of the best carrots, lettuce, Brussel sprouts, beans and squash are grown right in our area. The Olympic Peninsula is also known as one of the best seed producing regions in the country.
Local wineries and breweries each produce wine and beer that is uniquely their own. You are encouraged to stop in for tasting. Many of the local restaurants and retail shops in the region carry the local product.
