Visiting Olympic National Park is all about the outdoors - fly fishing, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking and relaxing, with rugged mountains and wildflowers as backdrop. If, however, you can ever tear yourself away from the park there are atmospheric little communities strung along the Olympic Peninsula's coast that offer a clutch of cultural offerings and in season, a regular selection of festivals and other social occasions. Towns like Port Angeles offer wine-tasting and gallery-going just a stone's throw from Hurricane Ridge, while Port Townsend, to the east, boasts brews, blues, and quaint 19th-century buildings to complement its waterside location.
