Do I need a timed-entry reservation to enter Olympic National Park?

No. There is no timed-entry system. Use a valid park pass and print any digital passes in advance.

Can I drive my RV through the park?

RVs are generally not recommended on many park roads; maximum combined length is 35 feet on most roads; Graves Creek Road disallows RVs; plan accordingly.

Are pets allowed on trails?

Pets are allowed in parking lots, campgrounds, and on paved roads, but must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet. They are not permitted on park trails or in wilderness areas.

Where can I obtain backcountry permits?

Permits are issued by the Wilderness Information Center located inside the Olympic National Park Visitor Center.

What should I bring for bear country?

Bear canisters are recommended for backcountry use; carry bear spray when in bear habitat; store food properly and follow bear safety guidelines.
