Olympic National Park

A Hidden Haven Forest Cottages is 5 easy miles to the the Olympic National Park entrance and less than 10 miles to the Visitor’s Center.

Olympic National Park is an American national park located in the State of Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. The park has four basic regions: the Pacific coastline, alpine areas, the west side temperate rainforest and the forests of the drier east side. Within the park there are three distinct ecosystems which are sub-alpine forest and wildflower meadow, temperate forest, and the rugged Pacific Shore. These three different ecosystems are in pristine condition and have outstanding scenery.

President Theodore Roosevelt originally created Mount Olympus National Monument on 2 March 1909. It was designated a national park by President Franklin Roosevelt on June 29, 1938. In 1976, Olympic National Park was designated by UNESCO as an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 as a World Heritage Site. In 1988, Congress designated 95 percent of the park as the Olympic Wilderness.

Less than an hour from A Hidden Haven is the popular Hurricane Ridge with Visitors Center. Spectacular views of the Olympic National Park can be seen from the Hurricane Ridge viewpoint. This is one of many things to do when visiting our Port Angeles Vacation Cottages.
