Olympic National Park offers dramatic alpine vistas (Hurricane Ridge), temperate rainforest (Hoh, Quinault), wild Pacific beaches (Rialto, Ruby), and glacial-fed lakes (Lake Crescent). Shoot sunrise/sunset for low-angle light and long exposures on the coast; mid-morning works for rainforest shafts. Park entrance requires a National Park pass; Hurricane Ridge road can close in winter—check conditions. Arrive early for limited parking and fewer crowds.
