Going to Olympic National Park in a few weeks. Any hiking / biking suggestions for family? Also, motivational techniques to get two step daughters 10 & 12 out on trails?
Shi shi beach and Point of Arches, easy and beautiful(I shopped in the bear but the sunset is normal). Hurricane Ridge is mobbed, sometimes you can't even park. Dosewallops Falls is great, the road is washed out so you can hike into old drive in camps.
If the step-daughters are out of shape, overweight, etc., good luck with that.
Lake Angeles is beautiful. If you can talk someone into setting you up for an a-b hike, go Hurricane Ridge, Klahane Ridge, Lake Angeles, Heart of the Hills. That'll give you incredible views and make the switchback portion downhill. It's a 10-mile trek. If you want something short, there'sStorm King out on Lake Crescent.
Thank you!
