Heads Up
  • October weather is unpredictable; bring waterproof layers and check for early snow at Mount Rainier.
  • The Mount Storm King trail includes a steep section with ropes; use caution if the ground is wet.
  • Hoh Rainforest parking fills up early; aim to arrive before 9:00 AM to avoid long entry lines.
  • Check WSDOT for ferry schedules if crossing from the Olympic Peninsula back to Seattle.
