This brand-new destination features the most majestic corner of Washington state. The idea for this tour came to Escape Adventures founder Jared Fisher during a cross-country bike ride from Las Vegas to Neah Bay. While exploring the northernmost tip of the Washington coast, Jared was completely floored by the lush surroundings. The Olympic Peninsula has great road biking, mixed in with a diverse array of points of interest. Before he even got off his bike, he was already calling the Escape Adventures team and setting plans in motion to create the Washington Olympic Peninsula Road Bike Tour.
Anchored by the majestic Olympic Mountains and bordered by the Pacific Ocean, Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Hood Canal, the Olympic Peninsula offers an unexpected experience as diverse as its terrain. Naturally, the views while riding will be gorgeous. The Peninsula boasts temperate Rainforests, pacific coastlines, and glittering lakes. But off the saddle, there are local restaurants to explore, and art galleries, gift shops, and bookstores to peruse at your leisure. All this combines to create a journey you’ll wish would never end.
Day 1: Discovery Bay to Lake Crescent
Our tour starts in Discovery Bay, located at the northeastern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. The bay was named after the Discovery, a ship used in George Vancouver’s 1792 expedition of the area. Today’s ride begins our journey on the Olympic Discovery Trail. This 130 mile route travels lowlands from the Puget Sound to the Pacific Coast, bordered by the snow-capped Olympic Mountain Range to the south, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north. Today, the trail passes through Railroad Bridge Park, with its Audubon Center and wildlife exhibits. It crosses the Dungeness River floodplain on a large, restored timber railroad bridge and a new, 780 foot trestle with excellent views of the turbulent river bed. Our ride hugs the coast, right past the Dungeness Spit, the world’s longest natural sand spit. Here over 250 species of bird find food, a place to rest, and protection from winds and pounding surf. Our destination for tonight is Port Angeles, where the mountains meet the sea! Filled with restaurants, hotels, art galleries, gift shops, and bookstores, Port Angeles is a wonderful place to spend the evening after a long ride.
Day 2: Port Angeles up Hurricane Ridge
Our day starts in Port Angeles, located in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. “Rain shadow” means the city gets significantly less rain than other areas of western Washington. Our entire day will be spent in our pursuit and accomplishment of the Hurricane Ridge. A ride up Hurricane Hill on a clear day can offer a 360-degree view, north across the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Victoria, Canada or the southern view of the glacier-clad Mount Olympus. You may see sub-alpine flowers like lupine, Indian Paintbrush and avalanche lilies. Be listening for the whistle of a marmot, which are frequently seen and heard in this northwest Washington area. Whistle back to the marmot and he will whistle back to you. This challenging, athletic accomplishment is rewarded with summit views of distant glaciers, the wild Olympic Mountain range, and Mount Olympus itself.
Day 3: Spruce Railroad Trail and Strait of San Juan de Fuca Hwy to Neah Bay
We start our morning back in Port Angels hugging the coastline all the way to Port Crescent. Port Crescent was first envisioned as a deep-water harbor for ocean-going vessels, but now all that’s left of the once-thriving community is an old cemetery. From here we head inland towards Lake Crescent and the popular Spruce Railroad Trail. This trail follows the grade of what was once the tracks of a logging railroad along the shores of the lake. Winding through sunlight dappled corridors of maple, Sitka spruce, hemlock and countless other types of trees, with the lake lapping nearby, there is something to delight the senses every step of the way. Our destination for the night is Lake Crescent. Nestled in the northern foothills of the Olympic Mountains, the pristine waters of this deep, glacially carved lake make it an ideal destination for those in search of natural beauty. Lake Crescent is known for its brilliant blue waters and exceptional clarity, caused by a lack of nitrogen in the water which inhibits the growth of algae.
Day 4: Neah Bay
From Crescent Lake we will divert from the Olympic Discovery Trail and head towards the very Northwest tip of the continental United States. The landscape of the Strait of Juan de Fuca was carved out by ice-age glaciers 13,000 years ago. The retreat of the glaciers created deep fjords which provide abundant food and habitat for many species of marine mammals. Today we will pass many areas of the coastline where we can spot nature’s most enigmatic characters – whales. One such place is Shipwreck Point – a great place to spot gray whales, and occasional passing orcas. A long day in the saddle takes us to Neah Bay, home of the Makah Tribe since time immemorial. The name Makah was attributed to the Tribe by the neighboring tribes, meaning “people generous with food” in the Salish language. Neah Bay has rugged cliffs, sustainably managed lush forests, and unbelievably gorgeous sunrises and sunsets.
Day 5: Neah Bay to La Push
La Push, surrounded by the lush forest of the Olympic Peninsula, is almost an island unto itself. Located on the northwest coast of Washington’s most westerly peninsula, it sits at the mouth of the Quillayute River, surrounded by Olympic National Park.
Day 6: Hoh Rain Forest
The Hoh Rain Forest, pronounced “Hoe”, earns its name from the ever-flowing Hoh River that carves its way from Mount Olympus towards the Pacific Coast. Throughout the winter season, rain falls frequently in the Hoh Rain Forest, contributing to the yearly average of 140 inches (3.55 meters) of precipitation each year. The result is a lush, green canopy of both coniferous and deciduous species. Mosses and ferns that blanket the surfaces add another dimension to the enchantment of the rainforest. The Hoh Rain Forest is located in the stretch of the Pacific Northwest rainforest which once spanned the Pacific coast from southeastern Alaska to the central coast of California. The Hoh is one of the finest remaining examples of temperate rainforest in the United States and is one of the park’s most popular destinations.

Imagine waking up in the morning to a sun-kissed harbor view. Red Lion Hotel Port Angeles Harbor is nestled between the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca and Olympic National Park, making the location a perfect home base for outdoor enthusiasts.
“The view never fails, regardless of weather. Watching marine activity is captivating whether it is a flock of ducks, waves, moss or the huge ships harbored here. The whole area in and around the hotel were spotless. The room was extremely clean and equipped. Everyone was friendly. The restaurant attached was reasonably priced and excellent selections. Breakfast of crab cake eggs benedict was superb. It was so delish, we had it all 3 mornings. From here, lots of directions to walk to enjoy natural beauty.”

416 Lake Crescent Rd
Port Angeles, WA 98363
Historic Lake Crescent Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula in northwest Washington was built in 1915 and is an ideal base camp for enjoying Olympic National Park, while experiencing the charm of a turn-of-the-century resort.
“The lodge is a wonderful place to stay, especially if you plan to hike Mount Storm King the next day! My wife and I stayed here for a night while honeymooning around the Olympic Peninsula and it was great! The only thing that rivaled how good the views were was the service. Paul at the front desk was one of the nicest people and gave us great tips about the surrounding area and some beautiful hikes. During our stay we met two separate bartenders, Adam and Aaron, who were so polite and kind and while dining in the Lodge resturaunt we had a wonderful waiter named Sean. I believe that when an employee goes over and beyond to help customers then they must be mentioned! I would stay here again without a doubt. Wonderful views, phenomenal employees, and great food! Pro tip: Ask for the Lavender Lemonade, it is the bomb!”

Neah Bay, WA 98357
The Cape Resort is situated downtown Neah Bay. From town, you can look out over the Strait of Juan de Fuca past the breakwater that protects the Makah Marina. This Neah Bay Resort is one of two Tribal Enterprise Businesses that hosts accommodations for guests visiting the Makah Reservation.
“Over-the-top NICE!!! Wow! Cape Resort Cabins!!! We only stayed here for one night, sadly, but it was AWESOME! The cabins are BRAND NEW, super clean, and there is even a bunk-bed room in the back! The bed was very comfortable and there was lots of hot water and great shower pressure. We had cabin-1, which faced the quiet Neah Bay cove, and the setting sun! The cabin even had a high-tech keypad entry, which was convenient, after a day of exploring Olympic NP and the hour drive up to this place, we got there after hours, and needed only our keypad number. There were several restaurants across the street…everything was within walking distance: the general store, the restaurants, the Post Office (to mail your post cards and get more stamps!). Neah Bay is a quiet, Makah Reservation town, so you do need to purchase a $10 pass, which is good for that whole area. The people are super friendly! We wanted to hike Cape Flattery, the Northern-most point of the Continental U.S., and it was just a 10 minute drive to the trail head. Great hike, very easy (15 min. out on a really cool trail), and unbelievable views of the Cape Flattery Lighthouse, sea caves, and rugged coastline. Definitely worth doing! I only wish we had more time to say there for a few days!”

330 Ocean Drive
La Push, WA 98350
The Quileute Nation invites you to share in the bounty of their land and explore their rich history and vibrant culture. Whether you’re an intrepid explorer in search of a base camp while you trek through the local Olympic wilderness, or a fan of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series on the hunt for a real-life experience of Jacob’s stomping grounds, our resort is the perfect place to find your bliss.
“Just Perfect! We rented a lovely cabin with floor to ceiling windows right on the most gorgeous piece of ocean with rolling surf and sea stacks just out our door. The resort is less than half a mile from beaches 1,2, and 3 in the Olympic National Park. Even a gale force storm was magical when you can run around on a rainy beach, then curl up before a cozy propane fireplace. Staff and La Push townspeople were friendly and helpful. Truly the best vacation experience of my life.”
