PORT ANGELES, Wash.

- This winter head to the Olympic Peninsula and discover Mother Nature's incredible treasures. The Pacific Ocean's cerulean waters are the stage for spectacular winter storms. As the clouds slowly form in the distance, leave your cottage and gather in Kalaloch Lodge with a cup of cocoa to prepare for Mother Nature's powerful and beautiful show. She displays her might by using waves to toss enormous tress like twigs. Approaching rain and thunderheads bring powerful waves crashing into the cliffs below. As the storm settles, let the wind and waves lull you to slumber. For a contrasting adventure head to historic Quinault Lake Lodge for a warm and cozy affair. After checking in, grab a glass of wine or coffee and head to the plush chocolately leather couches and ottomans of the lodge. Sink in while reading a mystery or surfing the web by a crackling fire. The majestic lake waters and emerald green Quinault Rainforest are the perfect backdrop for the afternoon. If the weather permits venture out to the rainforest trails or relax on the lodge's lake-front meadow. When dinner time arrives, prepare for a feast of scrumptious Pacific Northwest cuisine. The Olympic Peninsula has many natural wonders, luxe lodges, and tasting surprises to offer visitors year round.
