Weather

Summer is a wonderful time to visit Washington and the weather can be extremely varied. We’ll be exploring a variety of locations each with its own weather trends.

In general, you should be prepared for warm, comfortable days with temperatures in the 70s – possibly reaching the 80s in the afternoon. Nights will be cooler with lows in the 50s. Though less likely this time of year, there is always the potential for rain. High elevations on Mount Rainier may even have lingering snow this time of year!

Group 

Good Trippers can be any age but most of our travelers are in their 30s – 50s.

We get families, couples and friends, but most of our travelers come solo! We have guided trips for all abilities, just make sure to review the Intensity section for information about what to expect on your trip.

Day 1

We’ll meet you in Seattle this morning! After meeting your adventure-mates upon arrival, we’ll load up and head out to the Olympic Peninsula. Along the way, we’ll make a stop for a pizza lunch at a charming local cidery. After lunch, we’ll take a visit to Hurricane Ridge for stunning, sweeping views of the Olympics’ high snowy peaks and a hike to get our legs warmed up.

After a very full day, we’ll head west to our home for the next two nights – Quileute Oceanside Resort. This property – managed by the Quileute people – is home to some of the most stunning sunsets in North America, so be sure to head out to the beach to see before settling into bed!

Day 2

Today we’ll spend the morning exploring the rocky coast outside on the west side of the peninsula. The intertidal zone is full of biodiversity and curious creatures are just waiting to be discovered – if you know where to look. We’ll spend the part of the day tidepooling and walking along the beach.

Next, we’ll head into the heart of the park and discover the magic of the Hoh rainforest. One of the few remaining temperate rainforests on earth, this biodiversity hotspot receives over 120” of rain each year! The payoff is huge – dense, lush mosses hang from the trees and strange animals like banana slugs lay hidden in the detritus of the forest floor. We’ll spend our day hiking through this one of a kind ecosystem with plenty of time to stop and discover the entire universe beneath our feet.

Tonight, we’ll all work together to make a delicious camp cooked dinner on the beach, alongside a cozy fire as the sun sets.

Timing for the day may be adjusted based on tides
