Olympic Coast itinerary
Every mile marker on the Olympic Coast route, in order, with the distance and elevation change between each one, and which permit each stretch needs. To set alerts for your dates, go to the Olympic Coast Trail permit page.
Which permit covers this route
The Olympic Coast. One reservation is an ordered sequence of nights at named sites, issued by reservation.
13 of the stops below are camps this permit sells a night at, and each one is marked. One trip books a sequence of them, not all of them.
- Stops mapped
- 13
- Across the markers
- 12.0 mi
- Route length, measured
- about 32 mi
How long it takes: 5-6 days, per the NPS allowances of 2 days for Shi Shi to Ozette and 3-4 for Ozette to Rialto. That is the figure the permit publishes. This page does not divide the route into days, because no source records which stop you sleep at.
The stops below are the camps this permit sells, listed in the order the route runs them, with the mile positions the booking system publishes.
Distance and elevation change on each leg are the difference between the two published figures either side of it, so the legs are arithmetic on the markers and nothing more.
