Best Time to Visit Olympic National Park

Spring (April to May) brings vibrant greenery and cascading waterfalls, especially in the rainforests. Fall (October) sees fewer crowds and golden foliage in the forests. 
While winter (November to March) is often wet and chilly, it’s great for storm watching on the coast and cross-country skiing at Hurricane Ridge.
