Deer Park is really the only campground in the park's high country, and to get here you'll have to have nerves of steel. You see, it's a long and winding road to Deer Park. The fact that the road is also gravel, one lane wide, and has steep drop offs doesn't help matters either. If you suffer from acrophobia have bad brakes, you might want to give this one a miss. However, the pay off for those willing to drive the road to this little campground is one of the grandest panoramas from any campground in Washington.
Deer Park commands awe-inspiring vistas of nearby Olympic peaks.
From the campground, you can hike along Grand Ridge, through meadows and forests as far as Obstruction Point. Two other trails also begin at Deer Park, so a long weekend here provides plenty of hiking opportunities. Oh, and by the way, this place usually lives up to its name. You're also likely to encounter marmots in the meadows up this way. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here.
