Ninety minutes from downtown Olympia, a wilderness destination sits patiently waiting for visitors. During the summer months, the Staircase Region of Olympic National Park see’s over a hundred thousand visitors. Yet, when the leaves become orange and the days grow shorter, the crowds stay away. It is during the fall months that Staircase becomes even more magical, transforming an already gorgeous region into an enchanted wonderland of beauty, wilderness and nature.
Enjoying Fall at Staircase in Olympic National Park isn’t so much a suggestion, as much as it is a requirement to be a true Pacific Northwest resident. There aren’t golden larches or valleys of deciduous trees. While there are a few maples in the area, dripping with moss and other lichens, the majority of fall experiences are truly authentic to the region. Huge trees shade raindrops, as slightly muddy trails weave through lush green forests covered with an eruption of mushrooms. In the high country, the mountains of the region stand out in stark contrast from the greens below, popping sharply with oranges and reds for as far as the eye can see.
For many, the thought of an awesome fall adventure is enough to get you drooling for adventure. Staring at your screen, you crave information on how to best see the Staircase Region. Luckily, there is an incredible way to get to know fall in Olympic National Park.
