Itinerario

El Sendero del Descubrimiento Olímpico, que lleva décadas construyéndose y aún no se ha terminado, sigue un antiguo ferrocarril maderero a lo largo de la parte norte de la Península Olímpica. Aprovechamos más de 100 km de la ruta terminada, manteniéndote alejado de los tramos en los que sigue carreteras muy transitadas. Pedalea con la cordillera olímpica nevada a un lado y el estrecho de Juan de Fuca al otro. ¡Y sin camiones madereros! Circunnavegamos la península, empezando en el lago Quinault antes de dirigirnos hacia el norte y luego hacia el este alrededor de la península, parando en Kalaloch y Ruby Beach en la costa, el bosque tropical de Hoh, el lago Crescent y Port Angeles antes de llegar al punto culminante de la excursión (y de la península) en Hurricane Ridge. También nos bajamos de las bicis para ver las cosas más de cerca, haciendo senderismo por bosques antiguos, playas y praderas subalpinas. Disfruta de alojamiento frente al mar todas las noches y alójate en dos albergues diferentes del Parque Nacional (3 noches). Termina la semana con un paseo costero en bici y un hermoso viaje en ferry ¡directo al corazón del paseo marítimo de Seattle!

Programa del tour

Día 1

Reunión en Seattle y traslado a la cuenca del río Quinault, excursión por un lago, exploración de las playas de Kalaloch y Ruby.

To the Northwest Coast natives, Quinault means "river with a lake in the middle." It is the name of the land, the lake, and the tribe who lives here. The Quinault River basin famously holds six different species of record-sized trees. It's a bit of a drive (~2.5hrs) from Seattle, but don't worry, you will be craning your neck to catch a glimpse of the tops of the “Big Trees” before you get out of the van! Explore the network of trails along the lake this afternoon to see some of the largest western red cedar, Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and Douglas fir trees on the planet. Sample a dozen or more varieties of native berries depending on the season. From Quinault we drive another half-hour to Kalaloch on the Pacific Coast.

Kalaloch means “a good place to land" and we think you will agree. In sharp contrast to the soaring inland forests, forbidding-looking tangles of gnarled spruce and wind-whipped shore pines line the coastal beaches. Take a walk on the beach, keeping an eye out for scurrying shore birds, surf-riding scoters, playful otters and soaring bald eagles. In the evening, the garnet-tinged sands and offshore haystacks of Ruby Beach form a photo-perfect sunset backdrop. Spend the night overlooking the beach at Kalaloch National Park Lodge.

Día 2

Explora la Selva Tropical de Hoh: ¡uno de los lugares más tranquilos de la Tierra!

Spend a whole afternoon in the most famous rainforest in the park! Cited as being one of the quietest places on earth, Hoh means "whitewater," an apt description for this boulder-strewn, braided ribbon of a river flowing from Blue Glacier on Mt Olympus – the lowest glacier in the lower-48 states. Hike the Hall of Mosses Nature Trail in the morning before continuing up the Hoh River Trail in the afternoon. With luck, we will track down an elk herd along the way. Regardless, colonnades of spruce stretch toward the sky, big leaf maples spread out over fern meadows, and lichens and mosses run wall to wall and floor to ceiling. There is more biomass here per acre than anywhere else on the planet! In this valley, you will inevitably run out of different ways to describe "green". After the hike we shuttle (~1hr45min) to stay at another National Park Lodge for the next two nights. Lake Crescent Lodge sits amid towering old growth forest on the shores of an enormous gem of a lake. Woodsy trails through this rare and magnificent eco-system are accessible right outside your door to wander and explore.

- Hike up to about 8 miles, 100ft gain, 800-900ft elev.

Día 3

Comienza a pedalear hacia el este por la Olympic Discovery Trail, Alójate en el histórico Lake Crescent Lodge

Today, after a short van shuttle, we begin cycling east on the Olympic Discovery Trail. Pedal the Sol Duc River valley through dense 2nd and 3rd-growth forests that surround the National Park on our way to glacial-carved Lake Crescent. The clear, cold waters (you can see up to 60 feet down!) and stunning depth (over 600 feet!) give the lake its blue-green color. Two species of trout found nowhere else in the world also call it home. Stay another night at Lake Crescent National Park Lodge. You can enjoy more time on the lake, brace yourself for an invigorating swim, or immerse yourself in more ancient forest on a great short hike from the lodge to a wondrous waterfall. Stop to ponder which is more spectacular here: is it the waterfalls, the lake, or the old-growth forests they reside within? Whatever you decide, we think you will agree that it’s a special combination when you put them all together!

Hike 2-4 miles

Día 4

Recorre la ruta Olympic Discovery Trail hasta Port Angeles

Rejoin the Olympic Discovery Trail where we left off yesterday. Savor a relaxing ride along the shores of sparkling Lake Crescent in the morning before having lunch on your own at a lakeside resort. Shuttle (or ride alongside the roadside) to the recently unfettered Elwha River – the site of the largest ongoing dam removal project in the world. Learn more about this important habitat restoration program before continuing on toward Port Angeles (pop. 20,000), the biggest city as well as the busiest port on the peninsula. Ride out Ediz Hook for beautiful views of the Straight of Juan de Fuca and Port Angeles with the snow-capped Olympic Mountains as a backdrop. Stay on the waterfront at the Red Lion Hotel, our lodging for the next two nights. Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

25.5 mi · +795 ft / -1.575 ft

(up to 40 mi · +1500 ft / -1.575 ft)

Día 5

Asciende a Hurricane Ridge, ¡el punto más alto de la Cordillera Olímpica!

Today we ascend to Hurricane Ridge, the literal high point of the tour. As its name suggests, wind truly shapes this land, gusting to over 70 mph, with snows 30-35 feet deep in the winter. Go for a hike through alpine meadows and tree islands, dodging black-tailed deer and Olympic marmots – an endemic and adorable species of giant ground squirrel. Revel in a panorama of sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Vancouver Island. Enjoy lunch with a view near the Visitor’s Center (currently being rebuilt after a fire in 2023). In the afternoon, we return to Port Angeles for a celebratory dinner at our favorite local restaurant.

Special Note: We are saddened to have to announce that, as of 2024, the National Park Service no longer allows commercial tour participants to cycle on the road to Hurricane Ridge. We apologize that we are unable to continue this amazing cycling opportunity. It is our hope that they will change their minds on this matter, but currently those are the restrictions.

- Hiking: variable, about 4 mi with 1000 ft of gain at an elevation of 5400 ft.

Día 6

Recorre el Discovery Trail hasta la pequeña ciudad de Sequim, en la sombra de la lluvia de la península

Ride the Discovery Trail right out the front door of our hotel this morning. Continue east through forests dotted with farmlands to the small town of Sequim (pronounced “skwim”), the rain-shadow retirement capital of the peninsula and home to Western Washington’s only native cactus – the brittle prickly pear. While not quite a “desert,” less than 30 inches of rain fall here per year, compared to nearly 200 inches just 40 miles away at the Hoh! The area is renowned for its lavender festivals as well as the world’s first interactive elk-crossing. The female herd-leaders have been fitted with collars which set-off warning signals on the highway when they are in the area. Continue to Blyn for lunch before we load up bikes. Shuttle to Bainbridge Island where we catch a ferry into downtown Seattle – the perfect end to a perfect week!

Detalles del tour

Alojamiento

Nuestra experiencia regional, una reevaluación constante de las posadas del año anterior y una búsqueda continua de la mejor experiencia garantizan que nuestro alojamiento esté siempre entre los mejores que ofrece la zona. Al limitar el número de huéspedes en cada viaje, ampliamos nuestras opciones y podemos alojarnos en algunos bed and breakfasts y posadas rurales más pequeños y galardonados que no podrían acoger a un grupo más numeroso.

El alojamiento se basa en dos personas compartiendo habitación con baño privado. Si viajas solo en cualquiera de nuestros viajes y estás dispuesto a compartir habitación con otro viajero solo del mismo sexo, paga por adelantado el 50% del suplemento de habitación individual. Si podemos asignarte un compañero de habitación, se te reembolsará ese importe. Puedes garantizarte una habitación y baño privados si pagas la tarifa completa del suplemento individual. En ocasiones, una habitación con dos camas consta de una cama más una cama supletoria o un sofá cama. Llama a nuestra oficina para ver si esto es aplicable al viaje y a la fecha que elijas.

Transporte

Puedes subir a la furgoneta en cualquier momento, sin necesidad de dar explicaciones. Algunos quieren que les lleven sólo unos kilómetros; otros han montado en la furgoneta durante todo el viaje. Son tus vacaciones, tú decides.

Utilizamos una flota de furgonetas de 15 plazas especialmente encargadas y personalizadas. La mayoría tiene un motor V-10 de siete litros, una elevada relación de ejes traseros y un paquete de remolque de alta resistencia para desplazar con eficacia una furgoneta llena de gente tirando de un gran remolque lleno de equipaje y comida. Cada furgoneta tiene también portabicicletas profesionales de alta resistencia sobre una plataforma de acero hecha a medida en el techo.

Seguro

El seguro no está incluido. Se requiere seguro de viaje para este tour. Por favor, asegúrese de tener la cobertura adecuada.

Comidas

Todas las comidas, excepto una comida y una cena, están incluidas en el precio de tu viaje. Los días que tengas que comer por tu cuenta, habrá muchas opciones a poca distancia de nuestra sede.

En Bicycle Adventures nos gusta comer bien. Cada noche cenamos juntos en el mejor restaurante de la zona. Si tenemos que trasladar a todo el mundo una corta distancia para llegar a ese lugar especial, lo hacemos. En la mayoría de los restaurantes, pides lo que quieras del menú. Excepto el alcohol, todo está incluido, incluso los aperitivos, la ensalada, la sopa y el postre. El desayuno lo suelen proporcionar los hoteles y posadas en los que nos alojamos, pero si hay algún lugar local conocido por sus magníficos desayunos, lo encontraremos y disfrutarás de una comida nutritiva para empezar el día. El almuerzo se sirve en un parque estatal o en un lugar pintoresco similar a mitad del recorrido. Los huéspedes siempre se sorprenden de la variedad y calidad de los almuerzos que preparamos. Además de las guarniciones de los bocadillos y las bebidas frías, ofrecemos frutas y verduras frescas y almuerzos calientes como tortellini con pesto o burritos vegetarianos. Si prefieres un determinado alimento o bebida, sólo tienes que decírselo a tu guía y nos aseguraremos de preparar el almuerzo adecuado para mantener tu energía durante el resto del día.

Durante el día hay agua, zumos de fruta, refrescos, barritas energéticas, fruta y tentempiés disponibles en la furgoneta. Una cerveza fría de nuestra nevera te espera al final del día, y puedes revivir los mejores momentos del día en nuestra fiesta de vino y queso antes de cenar.
