Mount Olympus 7969'
​Highest Peak in the Olympics
​Jefferson County Highpoint

Your adventure begins with a peaceful hike along the Hoh River Trail.  Deep into the Rainforest your climb begins as you pass Elk Lake and Glacier Meadows. 

Once you crest the edge of the moraine guarding Blue Glacier, you will be treated to the best view on the Olympic Peninsula - Mt Olympus with its glaciers spilling down in icy sheets.  Snow and ice demand your attention as the sheer magnitude of the Olympus Massif weighs upon you.  

Establish camp on Mount Olympus and enjoy sunset from the summit of Panic Peak.  Sleep surrounded by the stars in a magical mountain setting.  Refreshed and ready, the next day will be your summit bid.
