THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA of Washington is one of the most underrated places I’ve ever been. The trees are so green, the water is so blue, and the mountains towering above the beaches will take your breath away. I’ve never been somewhere where you could hike, bike, ski, golf, and surf all in the same place—or even on the same day, if you could find the time. We went there planning to stay for three months and ended up exploring the area for almost two years. The peninsula is so big that it’s hard to narrow our experiences down, but here are our highlights of Port Angeles and Olympic National Park.
