I'm totally shocked no one mentioned Olympic National Park! Over one million acres of beauty and Hwy.'s that loop around the entire Park (Olympic Loop). Ocean Beaches RV right on the beach (Pacific Ocean) at Kalaloch Beach NPS first come first serve and nearby scenic Ruby Beach, Lakes (Quinault (President Roosevelt's favorite hide out), Crescent, Ozette and Cushmen, Mountains, Rivers, Hot Springs, Hurricane Ridge where you go from sea level to over 5,000' to almost the bottom of Mt. Olympus and look across the Straits of Juan de Fuca into Canada.The Worlds Largest Environmental Experiment the Elwha River the Federal Government gave the O.K. to tear down 2 Dams and drain two Lakes several years ago to see what can happen to a complete River system as it returns to it's natural state, very interesting and educational. Beautiful Rain Forests and the animals that roam the Park most common are Elk, Bear, Goats, Deer and on the opposite side of the Rain Forest is Sequim, WA. where the annual rainfall is less than Phoenix, AZ. due to the Mountains form a rain shadow! There is also the Black Ball Ferry in Port Angeles where you can park your RV and walk on the Ferry and take a day trip to Victoria, B.C. Canada and back. Also Cape Flatery (on the way to Lake Ozette) it's the furthest point North in the Continental United States! Way too much not to visit!
