Seasonal Ranger Programs

Get the inside scoop on the great outdoors.

Let the experts guide you through the park’s peaks, valleys, and untold stories. During the summer season, National Park Service rangers lead daily walks, talks, and campfire programs that bring Olympic National Park’s wildlife, ecosystems, and history to life.

Follow a ranger to Marymere Falls and feel the mist as you learn about early trailblazers and the forces that shaped this dramatic landscape. Join a campfire program at Lake Crescent to hear local legends and wildlife tales under the stars, or explore the lush Hall of Mosses on a guided Hoh Rain Forest Nature Walk. Families can also take part in hands-on learning with Family Forest Activities at the Heart O’ the Hills Campground.

Ranger-led programs typically run late spring through early fall, and most are free with paid park admission. For current schedules, locations, and seasonal updates, visit the official National Park Service website or check the latest Olympic National Park newspaper for event listings.
