I was invited on a two-day backpacking trip in Olympic National Park with two lady adventure friends. The shenanigans with friends on the first day was invigorating, and the solitude of an early morning photo tour on the second day was a dream.
Olympic National Park is a true Pacific Northwest gem: centuries-old foliage and gorgeous alpine lakes combine to create one of the most unforgettable national parks that the country has to offer.
Exploring around the Olympic Peninsula is no one-day task nor should it be. The beauty of this part of the state is incomparable and should be treated as such when venturing out into its depths.
The first micro-adventure of the year finally came on a sunny mid-January day, and you would be hard pressed to find two people more determined to make the most of our day off.
