Whether you have only a few
hours or several days, this guide offers a host of choices as you
explore the Northwest corner of the Pacific Northwest. This 2,000
square mile area is bordered on the north and west by over 100 miles
of saltwater shores, and to the south and east by alpine meadows and
rain forest valleys. Over 200 miles of wild rivers furrow the region
with healthy runs of native salmon and steelhead. The City of Forks
is the primary population and commercial hub for the area, with many
smaller communities along the way, including Sekiu, Neah Bay,
Clallam Bay, Beaver and LaPush. Year round temperatures range from
the mid-40s to upper 60s, snowfalls are infrequent, as are
temperatures over 80 degrees.
This itinerary was first created for a family of 5 including
