(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 21, 2011 ) PORT ANGELES, WA -- Outdoor enthusiasts can snowshoe along Olympic National ParkÂ’s famous Hurricane Ridge, search for hidden waterfalls on the Waterfall Trail, watch for Pacific storms off the coast of Kalaloch, or hike part of the 126-mile Discovery Trail. A holiday tradition for novice and professional ornithologists, multiple towns along the north peninsula participate in Christmas Bird Counts.
Travelers more interested in culinary than outdoor adventures, can tour the peninsulaÂ’s wineries, cideries, organic farms, and creameries. During the holidays, the sparkling ciders of Finnriver Farms and Cranberry Jubilee from Olympic Cellars add a festive air to local celebrations. The Olympic Culinary Loop website offers itinerary ideas, or traveling foodies can choose to customize their own trip.
The Olympic PeninsulaÂ’s cultural history is as varied as its landscapes. Cultural excursion can be found from the Victorian architecture of Port Townsend to the tribal carving sheds of Jamestown SÂ’Klallam and beyond.
This winter celebrate with the rich sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the Olympic Peninsula.
