About Kalaloch Lodge - DNC
There are few locales gifted with such diversity of geography and culture as Olympic National Park. Its western boundary – where Kalaloch Lodge uniquely sits – marks the edge of the contiguous United States, a wind-swept coastal sanctuary teeming with marine life.
The Employee Experience
Kalaloch Lodge is a great starting point to explore the many exciting areas of Olympic National Park and the Pacific Northwest. Hiking opportunities include miles of remote beaches, alpine areas with crystal clear lakes, and adventures through the temperate moss and fern drenched rainforest. Employees enjoy mushroom hunting and wildlife- spotting.
For those who enjoy an escape to the more iconic cities of the Pacific Northwest, weekend trips to Seattle or Portland are just the thing! And don’t forget your passports! Visiting beautiful Vancouver, B.C. is something that many employees enjoy. A scenic drive up the coast to Port Angels will bring you to the Coho Ferry which will take you across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and into the charming city of Victoria, B.C.
