 Nowhere in the United States can one engage in a variety of activities as on the Olympic Peninsula; .three and a half million visitors come to the Olympic Park annually, to enjoy glacier exploring, beach combing, wind surfing, walking in the rain forest, and soaking in a natural hot spring,..
If you have only one day

Spend a couple of hours viewing the glaciers, walking through the alpine meadow trails covered with windflowers, and observe the wildlife roaming through the mountains and valleys.
1pm - Leave Olympic park, go west on highway 101 to Lake Crescent (30 minutes) Walk 3/4-mile to Marymere falls (98 feet high) . This is a rain forest setting; about 80 inches of rainfall annually. You will see the same flora as in the Hoh rain forest, only on a smaller scale. Spend 1.5 hours enjoying the area.

 In the evening, watch the sun set over the water, and the lights of Victoria sparkle; bask in your jacuzzi, watch a video of the Olympic park or select a movie from the large collection. This could also be the perfect time to catch up on your reading.
If you have two days: Day one: Same as above
Day two:
9am to 10am Breakfast
Check the tide tables. At low tide, schedule a trip to Joyce (45 minutes). Go to Tongue Point to experience some great tide pools. Then drive toward Forks to Rialto Beach or Ruby Beach on the Pacific (1.5 hr.). Another half-hour drive and you can be at the heart of the only temperate Rain Forest in North America. Take an hour walk on the Hall of Mosses trail;, or if you want to get a more extensive view of what the rain forest was like when first seen by people, travel the Spruce Trail (17 miles).
Return to Domaine Madeleine for an evening of relaxation.
If you have three days:
Days one and two, see above
Day three: 9am to 10am. Breakfast. 
Drive 5 miles to the Dungeness Spit (the longest sand spit in the United States); walk on the beach; the trip to the lighthouse, which can be visited, is about 6 miles, one way, but well worth the trip; there is a bird sanctuary there. If a long walk is not your preference, consider a sea kayaking trip to the lighthouse. If time permits, stop at the Olympic Game farm(two miles away), view some of the animals which have been used in Disney movies.
3pm -If you enjoy visiting wineries, the Neuharth and Lost Mountain wineries are just 5 miles from the Olympic Game farm. In Sequim (pronounced skwim to rhyme with swim) shop for herbs and dried flowers at the Cedarbrook Herb farm Visit the Sequim museum to view a mastodon bone with a spear point in it, found in this area.

OR, in lieu of the above: Arise early, take the 8:00 ferry to Victoria B.C. and view Buchart Gardens and the Royal Museum and return on the 7:30 ferry. Or, you can enjoy all three of these options, if you extend your stay to 5 days!
