March offers crisp coastal air and fewer crowds, making it ideal for exploring rugged beaches and ancient rainforests as they begin to green. Witness dramatic seascapes and the awakening of temperate flora.
Our road trip around the Olympic Peninsula was an incredible adventure that felt like visiting several different worlds in one day. We started in the Hoh Rain Forest, walking the Hall of Mosses trail under a green canopy of ancient trees covered in dripping moss—it was incredibly peaceful and almost magical. Next, we drove to Rialto Beach and hiked to the Hole-in-the-Wall at low tide, where we saw colorful starfish and anemones in the tide pools. The absolute highlight was Lake Crescent; the water was so clear and blue, and we spent a quiet afternoon just soaking in the stunning views.
Beautiful. Such a fun place to explore
Pretty foggy day and limited parking, but other than that there was a lot to explore and some cute photo ops
