The Seven Lakes Basin and High Divide Loop is one of the premier backpacking trips on the Olympic Peninsula and one of our favorite hikes in Washington State. Along the way, you’ll pass through lush river valleys, camp beside alpine lakes, have great mountain views, cross wildflower-filled meadows, and have plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife. It’s also one of Olympic National Park’s most popular backpacking routes, so permits and campsites require some advance planning.
