Take Olympic Hot Springs Road south from Highway 101 just west of Port Angeles [1] into the Elwha River watershed, best known for a bulwark project currently underway to demolish two dams and restore the river to its former pristine state.
This river valley offers some of the closest remote hiking [2] and rafting [3] to Port Angeles.
Situated in a country home overlooking the Elwha River valley, Elwha Ranch B&B (360/457-6540, www.elwharanch.com [4], $140–150 d) has two guest rooms with private baths, a deck, and full breakfasts. The property features a private log cabin ($165) for those seeking a bit more seclusion.
