My husband and I are planning our anniversary out to ONP in June. We will fly out on Thursday and fly back Tuesday for a total of 5 days (but really 3 days for adventure time).
Our only absolute "must" is soaking in the hot springs after a nice day of hiking. We are otherwise going to try to hit all of the big ecosystems while there, but aren't married to specific spots (I know the rainforest can get very busy and difficult to access, snow might still be up at Hurricane Ridge).
Would it be better on Thursday after landing in the afternoon to just commiting to driving West to the beaches and work our way back over the following days, or is it better to go to the route of going mid way (Port Angeles area) to settle in day 1, day 2 head West, and then work our way back from there?
Thanks for your feedback and advice! We are excited.
