If you’ve never been to the peninsula, go there. In addition to Kalaloch and Riato beaches, stop at the Hoh Rain Forest (one of the only cold rain forests in the world) and Lake Crescent. If Hurricane Ridge is open (weather dependent), it’s spectacular. The visitors center has a great view of the glacier.
