Grand Valley & Grand Pass, Olympic National Park

Your adventure begins with expansive views of Lillian Ridge followed by a descent into Grand Valley.

The trail winds its way down to a quiet alpine setting just below Grand Pass.

After a peaceful sleep, explore deeper into Olympic National Park's wild interior and witness alpine areas, peaks, and basins that few visitors even know exist.  

This area is rich with wildlife.  You will never forget this once in a lifetime experience.
