The Victoria Visitors Centre is centrally located Downtown, at the shore of the Inner Harbour, and…read morefrom the Fairmont Empress Hotel. It's a cool Art Deco building and was originally an Esso gas station. The tower vaguely looks like the Empire State Building. This is a good place to begin your explorations of Victoria and "Up Island". It's also within easy walking distance from the cruise ships and ferries and close to popular attractions (Royal BC Museum, Parliament Building, Beacon Hill Park, etc.) and shopping. The friendly folks at the Front Desk can give you good advice on places to see, tour packages, and dining options. There's also a large selection of brochures and posted information if you want something more self-directed.

I didn't see a wheelchair ramp. Talented musicians played their tunes and a budding juggler attempted an act- amusing. A food truck selling Poutin (steak fries, cheese curd, brown gravy) was located at the corner of the boat dock and the government bldg. US dollars are accepted at stores.

Olympic National Park has several visitor centers and ranger stations because of how big it is…read more This is the main visitor center for the park. Olympic National Park Visitor Center is in Port Angeles on the road to Hurricane Ridge. It has plenty of parking spaces and a welcome sign that you can get a photo in front of. This was my first visit to Olympic National Park. I appreciated the help that I received from the staff here. They gave me information on how to navigate my way around the park. I was excited to make the trek up to Hurricane Ridge for the day. It is one of the most visited areas of Olympic National Park. I wanted to do the Hurricane Hill hike while I was here. The park ranger explained to me how to get to the trailhead and where to park. Because the Wi-Fi is spotty in this area, they have paper maps available. Olympic National Park Visitor Center is also a gift shop and sells snacks and beverages. The building itself is spacious and has two levels. There are exhibits about the park's natural and cultural history, a discovery room for kids and a film that plays throughout the day. Make sure you check out the wildflowers out front and the nature trails behind the building. Also, don't forget to stamp your national park passport book while you are here. There are entrance stations on Hurricane Ridge Road once you pass this visitor center. The drive up to Hurricane Ridge is around 17 miles. Hurricane Ridge Road sometimes closes in the winter due to avalanches.

Hurricane Ridge is one of the most visited areas in Olympic National Park. It has an elevation of…read moreover 5,000 ft and is about an 18 mile drive from Port Angeles. Hurricane Ridge is known for skiing, sledding, snowboarding and its many hiking trails. The mountain views from up here are just breathtaking. A lodge and visitor center stood here for 70 years. While preparing for renovation work, the building was completely destroyed by fire on May 7, 2023. Right now there is a temporary structure in its place that has working toilets. A ranger is on hand to give out paper maps and answer any questions for those that want to hike or explore the area. Sadly there is no food options or a gift shop here at Hurricane Ridge anymore. If you want to shop for gifts, you can visit the Olympic National Park Visitor Center in Port Angeles. They have set up a small table outside for those that want to stamp their National Park Passport books. The parking lot near the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center is really spacious. You can also hop on a shuttle from Port Angeles for a couple bucks if you don't want to do the drive yourself. There are many trail options that range from easy to difficult for those that like to hike.

My fiancé and I had the most magical time exploring Olympic National Park. If you know me, you know…read morethat I'm an avid fan of NPS. I love to visit and collect brochures from the parks we visit. Checking out this park was such a treat. I especially adored how different each section felt of this park. Each highlight of the park felt wildly different from each other. Here's what we visited (I suggest checking it all out) : Lake Cushman: Our first day at the park we decided to do a quick stop to check the lake out. We didn't go on any hikes, but we met a kind retired ranger at a viewpoint that shared Staircase was the hike to do there. Hurricane Ridge: Go early to visit this one because it gets PACKED. It's absolutely stunning and beyond gorgeous. You're surrounded by mountains and every point on the hike is a fun viewpoint. At certain angles you can see Canada and Port Angeles. There is a lot of parking here and restrooms. Kalaloch Beach: There are several beaches and entrances to this spot. We went to Kalaloch Beach 3 and had a really pretty hike down to the beach. We saw some starfish on our walk. We also saw people fishing. My grandmother who grew up here recommended checking out this beach and I'm so glad we did. Hoh Rainforest: Another really popular spot that you'll want to show up early to. There is a visitor center attached to this. It's a fairly easy loop. The trees are amazing here. Sol Duc: It was POURING when we visited this spot. It really added to the whole experience though. This hike through the forest was majestic. And the waterfall at the end made it extra special. While we weren't able to take advantage of the hot springs further up the road (before Sol Duc trailhead), I recommend scheduling a time to visit after some hiking. This park is HUGE. And filled with endless beauty. We barely scratched the surface. I'd recommend making sure your trip is at least three days. We bought the $80 annual pass for our trip since we went in and out of the park a lot. I highly recommend visiting this national gem.
