There is something wildly unforgettable about Washington’s Olympic Peninsula in early fall. Mist hangs low through ancient rainforests, waves crash against rugged coastline, and every winding road feels like a scene pulled straight from a movie. Towering evergreens, dramatic beaches, turquoise lakes, hidden waterfalls, cozy cafés, mountain overlooks, and crisp coastal air create the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable Pacific Northwest adventure.

Join Her Wilderness for a week of hiking, exploring, road tripping, and immersing yourself in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the United States alongside an adventurous group of women who quickly become friends. Over the course of this adventure, we will experience the incredible diversity of Olympic National Park and the surrounding peninsula, from alpine mountain views and glacier carved lakes to moss covered rainforests, dramatic coastline, charming small towns, and peaceful forest retreats. Participants should expect to share transportation related expenses throughout the trip including fuel and vehicle costs coordinated amongst the group.

Throughout the week, highlights may include:
• Hurricane Ridge
• Lake Crescent
• Sol Duc Falls
• Hoh Rainforest
• Hall of Mosses
• Rialto Beach
• Ruby Beach
• Kalaloch Beach
• Lake Quinault
• Scenic coastal drives
• Pike Place Market
• Seattle waterfront experiences

This trip is intentionally designed to balance adventure with comfort. We will spend our days hiking scenic trails, exploring the coastline, chasing waterfalls, stopping at cozy coffee shops, and soaking in unforgettable views before returning each evening to hand selected lodging throughout the peninsula.

Expect:
• Relaxing hot springs surrounded by the forest
• Oceanfront sunsets and rugged coastline
• Cozy rainy mornings with coffee and mountain views
• Scenic road trips through old growth forests
• Seafood dinners and local Pacific Northwest cuisine
• Beach walks, waterfalls, and rainforest hikes
• Long conversations and laughter with women from all over the country

This is not just a hiking trip. It is a fully immersive Pacific Northwest road trip experience designed to help you slow down, reconnect with nature, embrace adventure, and experience the magic of Washington in a supportive and encouraging environment. Our adventure begins on September 21st, as everyone arrives into Seattle and we begin making our way toward the Olympic Peninsula. Over the next several days we will road trip through some of Washington’s most iconic landscapes with coastal stays near La Push and Kalaloch, rainforest exploration through the Hoh, relaxing evenings surrounded by forests and ocean views, and one final evening together in Seattle before departures home on September 27th. Participants should expect to share transportation related expenses throughout the trip including fuel and vehicle costs coordinated amongst the group.

OUR IDEAL ITINERARY

Please note this itinerary is flexible and may shift based on weather, road conditions, trail access, tides, group energy levels, and overall trip flow. One of the best parts of Olympic National Park is embracing the spontaneity and adventure that comes with exploring the Pacific Northwest.

DAY 1 | ARRIVE IN SEATTLE + BEGIN THE ADVENTURE

Arrive into Seattle before noon as we begin our scenic drive toward Olympic National Park. Along the way we may stop at alpine lakes, scenic overlooks, waterfalls, and cozy mountain lodges before settling into our first forest retreat stay near Sol Duc. Depending on timing and weather, highlights may include Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls, Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc Falls, and relaxing in natural hot springs surrounded by towering evergreens.

After a full day of travel and exploring, we will settle into our cozy forest lodging for the evening where everyone can relax, unpack, and soak in the excitement of the week ahead.

DAY 2 | RUGGED COASTLINES + LA PUSH

Today we head toward the iconic Washington coastline where dramatic beaches, crashing waves, driftwood covered shorelines, and towering sea stacks create some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Pacific Northwest. Depending on tides and conditions, we may explore Rialto Beach, Second Beach, Hole in the Wall, tide pools, coastal trails, and sunset views along the Pacific Ocean before returning to our cozy coastal lodging for the evening.

Expect moody skies, salty ocean air, incredible photo opportunities, cozy coffee stops, and one of the most unforgettable sunsets of the trip.

DAY 3 | HOH RAINFOREST + HALL OF MOSSES

Today we step into one of the most magical and iconic landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, the Hoh Rainforest. Massive old growth trees, hanging moss, fern covered forest floors, and mist drifting through the evergreens make this area feel completely surreal.

Depending on weather and trail conditions, we may explore:
• Hall of Mosses Trail
• Spruce Nature Trail
• Hoh River viewpoints
• Scenic rainforest drives and overlooks
• Additional hidden trails and quiet forest stops throughout the region

This day is intentionally slower paced and immersive, allowing time to truly experience the beauty and peacefulness of the rainforest. We may end the evening with a cozy beach bonfire, sunset picnic, or relaxing coastal evening depending on conditions and group interest.

DAY 4 | RUBY BEACH + KALALOCH

Today we continue exploring Olympic National Park’s rugged coastline with more scenic beach stops, dramatic overlooks, and some of the most photographed coastal scenery in Washington.

Highlights throughout the day may include:
• Ruby Beach
• Kalaloch Beach
• Tree of Life
• Hidden coastal viewpoints
• Scenic roadside stops throughout the peninsula
• Driftwood covered beaches and crashing Pacific waves

This stretch of coastline feels wild, peaceful, and incredibly cinematic. Expect plenty of time for exploring, photography, relaxing walks on the beach, and soaking in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Tonight we will settle into another cozy coastal or forest retreat stay surrounded by towering evergreens and ocean air.

DAY 5 | LAKE QUINAULT + SLOW PACIFIC NORTHWEST DAY

After several adventure packed days, today is designed to slow the pace slightly and embrace the quieter side of the Olympic Peninsula.

We may spend the day exploring:
• Lake Quinault
• Quinault Rainforest
• Scenic forest roads
• Cozy mountain cafés and bakeries
• Local shops and hidden gems throughout the area
• Relaxing lakeside viewpoints and peaceful forest trails

This is the perfect opportunity to slow down, journal, enjoy a slow morning coffee, take photos, relax with the group, and simply enjoy being fully present in such a beautiful place.

The Pacific Northwest atmosphere truly shines on days like this with rainy mornings, towering trees, fog drifting through the forest, and cozy evenings together.

DAY 6 | SEATTLE EXPLORATION + FINAL NIGHT TOGETHER

Today we begin making our way back toward Seattle for one final evening together before departures home.

Depending on timing and group interests, our final day may include:
• Pike Place Market
• Seattle waterfront
• Local seafood restaurants
• Coffee shops and bakeries
• Shopping and exploring downtown Seattle
• Space Needle area
• Sunset views over the city
• Farewell dinner together as a group

The final evening is always one of the most special parts of a Her Wilderness trip. By this point, strangers have become friends, stories have been shared, confidence has grown, and memories have been made that will last long after the trip ends.

DAY 7 | DEPARTURE DAY

You may arrive for the scenery, but you will leave with so much more:

Travel insurance

If you are planning to purchase travel insurance for your Her Wilderness trip, PLEASE purchase it NOW and do not wait until right before departure. Many travel insurance policies require coverage to be purchased within just a few days of your initial trip registration or first payment in order to qualify for the best and most comprehensive coverage options. Waiting too long can limit what is covered or completely remove eligibility for certain protections.

We highly encourage ALL Her Wilderness participants to purchase travel insurance shortly after registering for a trip. Ideally, travel insurance should be purchased within just a few days of booking in order to maximize your coverage options and help protect your investment.

Travel insurance can help provide protection for things such as:

• Flight cancellations or delays

• Lost or delayed baggage

• Rental car issues

• Unexpected medical emergencies

• Additional lodging expenses caused by travel disruptions

• Trip interruptions or cancellations

• Weather related delays

• Emergency transportation needs

While we sincerely hope every trip goes perfectly smoothly, travel is unpredictable and unexpected situations can happen. Having travel insurance in place can provide peace of mind and financial protection should something outside of your control arise before or during your adventure.

REGISTRATION & COMMUNICATION

All registrations are completed through the WeTravel platform, where you will receive confirmation and payment management support. After booking, your coordinator will contact you with next steps, access to your private trip group, and invitations to scheduled virtual meetings. To ensure communication is efficient and organized, coordinators will provide their preferred contact method and will not communicate through personal social media accounts. For general questions or assistance, please email questions@herwilderness.co. We can’t wait to adventure with you!
