Top of the World on the Deer Park Road Trail

Dance with the Olympic Mountains.

Get Unforgettable Views (and Access to Dozens of Hiking Trails) at the Top of Deer Park Road in Olympic National Park.

Climb 5,800+ feet above sea level on a windy gravel road (oversized vehicles and motorhomes are not recommended) for 360 degree views of mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the top of Blue Mountain. Some say the views are better here than Hurricane Ridge, but you have to work harder to get to them. Hikers can venture along many hiking trails for more views from foot. There are off-grid campgrounds available for camping.

During the winter months, jump into a 4WD or AWD vehicle and drive to the gate. Then, snowshoe or cross country ski as far as you want.
