(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 27, 2011 ) PORT ANGELES, Wash.- The Olympic Peninsula is a land of contrasts. During the winter months you can spend the morning snowshoeing or cross country skiing near Olympic National ParkÂ’s Hurricane Ridge and the afternoon kayaking around Freshwater Bay or strolling through the Hoh Rainforest. The winter issue of Olympic National ParkÂ’s Bugler highlights ranger-guided programs, winter activities, lodgings, and popular park trails.
On the western coast of the peninsula winter means spectacular Pacific coast storms. From the cliffs of Kalaloch watch as Mother Nature puts puts on a show of power and strength; giant trees are tossed about like twigs by the waves below.
Many migratory birds make their winter homes on the eastern end of the Olympic Peninsula. Particularly popular with water fowl, visitors can view Trumpeter Swans, Blue Heron, Osprey, Brant Geese, Harlequin Ducks, possibly even Puffins and Bald Eagles on the Migratory Waterfowl Watchers Trail in and around Port Townsend.
Whether looking for adventure, wildlife or natural wonders winter the Olympic Peninsula is sure to impress.
