What should I pack for the Olympic National Park Tour?

• National Park Pass (or Forest Service Pass for trails on the south shore of Lake Quinault)
• Cell phone (with tour downloaded!)
• Car charger
• Phone mount for car
• Ziploc bag or waterproof cover for phone/camera
• Flashlight - for sunrise or sunset hikes to the beach
• Park Map - available at the visitor center
• Binoculars
• Waterproof rain jacket or coat
• Non-cotton/waterproof or quick-dry pants
• Dress in layers (layer with NON-cotton fabric like fleece/wool–for cooler weather or synthetic materials like nylon–for warmer weather). The key is to stay warm and dry! 
• Waterproof hiking boots/sturdy shoes with non-slip soles
• Wool or non-cotton socks
• Trekking poles (recommended if hiking in the mountains)
• Sunscreen 
• Sunglasses 
• Hat
• Insect repellent
• Water bottles - plenty! Do not drink from any streams/rivers to avoid giardia.
• Snacks and/or picnic food (Remember to pack up leftovers/don’t leave crumbs) *Restaurants are few and far between. Make sure you plan ahead for meal times.
• First aid kit/medications
• Emergency roadside assistance kit
• Swimsuit and towel if interested in visiting Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort

Tip: Avoid wearing bright-colored clothing (light blue, pink, red, orange) or perfumed scents on day hikes in the forests. These attract wasps, especially during the fall
