While in the small unknown town of Port Angeles Washington, one is able to see the breath-taking view of the Olympic Mountain Range. This great mountain range covers more that 5,500 square miles across four counties of rural Washington State. Nestled between these great peaks lies Lake Crescent, a good size lake that spans nearly twelve miles long.
On the road to Lake Crescent Lodge, there are many great views such as the image on the left of the breath-taking views one can find on the route through The Olympic Mountain range.

In addition to these extensive activities available to visitors, there is a nice and relaxing nature to the lake and the lodge next to the lake. With plenty of seats to lounge about next to the shore, many people relax while enjoying a beverage and watching the beautiful colors that appear on the surface of the lake during the sunset.
The Sad Departure
As one departs from Lake Crescent, one drives through the beautiful Olympic National Park on roads lined with trees. This sad departure from the lake is one that fills you with both sadness, and anticipation for the next time you visit. Sadness for the great times and good memories made at the lake, and anticipation for the next visit as you start to plan out what you are going to the next time you visit.
