Olympic maps from the park brochure

Here’s the official Olympic National Park map from the NPS brochure, last updated in 2021. It’s identical to the one you receive when you visit the park, and includes both the coastal region and Olympic Mountains.

This Olympic regional map shows the surrounding roads and communities and can help you plan your trip logistics (driving directions, lodging, etc.) as you arrive from Seattle or another major town.

Olympic trail maps

The Olympic wilderness is huge, so if you’re doing overnight backpacking you’ll need something more detailed than the free trail map posted below. The National Geographic Trails Illustrated map covers most of the park in much more detail than you’ll find in the free one. The topographic lines are so key not just for navigation, but also for planning your route, as you need to know whether you’re biting off more than you can chew in a single day.

This Olympic National Park trail map is meant to help you plan your trips into the wilderness. All backcountry campsites are labeled, and a table shows you if fires are allowed, if there’s a toilet, and more information.

Hurricane Ridge maps

This is a detail map of the Hurricane Ridge area south of Port Angeles, which is one of the most popular destinations in Olympic National Park for its amazing views of Mount Olympus and other mountain peaks.

Here is a Hurricane Ridge winter map, showing the ski and snowshoe trails, downhill ski area, and winter road closures. It also includes topo lines so you can get a sense for elevation gain on the trails.

This Olympic Headquarters and Visitor Center map zooms in on the area around the main park visitor center near Port Angeles. It’s on your way to Hurricane Ridge and worth a stop to learn current conditions.

This is the Heart O’ the Hills map, showing the Heart O’ The Hills Campground and hiking trails near the Olympic entrance station, located south of Port Angeles on the way to Hurricane Ridge.

Here is an Elwha River map, last updated in 2021. This area is located west of Hurricane Ridge through a separate access road. Much of this area may be inaccessible due to road closures from flood damage; inquire at the park.

Olympic lodging map

Many Olympic visitors stay north of the park, especially near Port Angeles; to the right you’ll find an Expedia interactive lodging map centered there. It’s a convenient area for visiting Hurricane Ridge and other northern Olympic sights; you can view the top-rated Olympic lodging options there. If you’re more interested in visiting the Hoh Rain Forest and the coast, instead browse the best-rated lodging near Forks.

Here is a Sand Point camping map, showing legal camping areas around Sand Point, located south of Cape Alava. This map also shows the size of each campsite and locations of outhouses.

Lake Crescent maps

This map of the Lake Crescent area shows the points of interest in the northern part of Olympic National Park where US 101 parallels Lake Crescent: picnic areas, hiking trails, camping, and so on.

Assorted Olympic maps

This Olympic attractions map is very simplified to easily show the main 10 areas to visit. Locations are color-coded to help plan your visit, as generally each color can be combined into a day. (Purple might need two days.)

Here’s a simple winter map of Olympic National Park. It’s much like the map above but shows the areas accessible during the winter wet and snowy winter months. A handy table is provided to include travel times.

The Olympic Peninsula precipitation map perfectly illustrates the concept of the rain shadow effect: Note how wet the coastal region is compared to Port Angeles and the leeward side of the mountains.

Here’s an Olympic fire history map, showing the location and size of fires in recent human history. Note how most are on the east side of the park, which receives much less rain than the west side.

This Olympic historical map shows the park in 1952. Note certain roads that no longer exist, and roads that have since been built (Hurricane Ridge has one of each).

Archived Olympic maps

The National Park Service frequently updates maps and releases new ones, and I do my best to upload them here as I come across them. But I try to avoid removing old maps; I believe it’s important to tell the story of how national parks change over time. So in this section, you’ll find maps that have since been superseded by ones above.
