Wow! What a busy summer! Hard to believe we finally reached the Labor Day Weekend milestone of the summer season. We are so thrilled to have provided guided hiking tours and backpacker trailhead shuttles for over 2,300 clients so far this year! 2021 has been a season of growth, new opportunities, amazing teamwork, and fantastic memories with our clients. Here is our year in review!

As you consider your upcoming travels to Olympic National Park, here is how Olympic Hiking Co. will be following Washington State’s most recent 2021 Outdoor Recreation protocols.

Based on the May 14, 2020 memo from Governor Inslee regarding Outdoor Recreation in Phase 1 and Phase 2, we are officially able to reopen our Olympic Hiking Co. Guided Hiking Tours and Trailhead Shuttles as we have company policies in place to follow the state’s safety and health requirements. This blog outlines the key updates for our 2020 season.

With outdoor recreation and some public lands set to reopen on May 5th, what does that mean for planning your next hike? We created guidelines to expand Leave No Trace beyond the hiking trails and reduce COVID-19 exposure in our gateway communities.

Owner, Tommy Farris, summarizes how the Great Outdoors can be a great resource for social distancing, while creating a much-needed physical and mental escape from the COVID-19 news gauntlet. Also an update for Olympic Hiking Co.’s plans to continue providing small group tours and shuttles with proactive caution for sanitation and health of OHC employees and hiking clients.
