You step out of the van where the road thins and the air takes on its own weight—cool, green, and thick with moss. For three days this tour threads the Olympic Peninsula from Pacific surf to alpine ridge: old-growth giants at Lake Quinault, the hush of the Hoh Rainforest, wind-sculpted Kalaloch beaches, and the high, open meadows of Hurricane Ridge.
