Things To Do
Salmon Cascades
We plan on making this a pit stop on the way to Sol Duc Falls Trailhead, the Sunday after the wedding! This "hike" is just a few steps off of the road, but it's wet and a bit muddy so definitely bring hiking shoes and wet weather gear to go on this trek.
Sol Duc Falls
We plan on doing this hike the Sunday after the wedding! It's roughly an hour away from the wedding venue and the hike itself is fairly easy, albeit a bit wet.
Hoh Rain Forest
We plan on doing this hike along with a sunset hike at Rialto Beach the Monday after the wedding! This hike is 2 hours away from the wedding venue, but the hike itself (Hall of Mosses is the most popular) is a very easy hike. Again, the trail is wet so I would bring hiking shoes and some wet weather gear!
Rialto Beach - Hole in the Wall
We plan on swinging by to do this hike on the way back from Hoh National Rainforest on the Monday after the wedding! This hike is a beach hike for 90% of the "trail" but it's definitely more casual than you'd think. At the end of the hike, assuming the tide is low, you'll get to see the Hole in the Wall. Note for this hike, you'll either have to get your feet wet or cross over a log crossing to get to the end of the hike, and when you reach the end you may have to hike up a veeery steep incline (think using a rope to pull yourself up) to make it to the other side of the natural arch. We planned on doing this at sunset as it was beautiful seeing the ocean sunset!
Lake Crescent
As it will be late as we're traveling back from Rialto Beach on Monday, we plan on making a pit stop to do some star gazing at Lake Crescent! There is almost zero light pollution and the amount of stars you can see is almost unbelievable.
Marymere Falls
We haven't visited this one before but we'd like to do this hike on Tuesday after the wedding. It's only 30 minutes from the venue so it would make for an easy day, doubled up with the next recommendation, the Devil's Punchbowl!
Devil's Punchbowl
This hike is planned for the Tuesday after the wedding and shouldn't take too long. Bring your swimsuits and towels for this hike and be prepared to get a bit cold! The lake is fed from mountain snow melt so it is very cold even in mid-day.
Pike Place Market
This one is pretty self-explanatory! I think a majority of folks are planning on leaving Wednesday so we plan on being in Seattle then to send everyone off. We'd like to spend some time at the Public Market and enjoying some coffee at a coffee shop below.
Olympia Coffee Roasting
We thought this coffee shop was cute and wanted to try their coffee while in Seattle!
