Excellent advise!

It's a holiday weekend, so how do you avoid...this? Or at least make waiting in line less stressful?

🚘 Plan ahead to arrive at off-peak hours, like early morning and later afternoon or evening.

🚘 Visit some of the less crowded areas of the park. Hurricane Ridge and the Hoh Rainforest are the two most-visited areas, but there is so much more to explore!

Honestly, waiting IS unavoidable sometimes, so if you find yourself in a line, make it nicer for yourself and everyone else:

🚘 Download a podcast before you leave so you have something to listen to in line - Glacier National Park makes a great one called Headwaters.

🚘 Bring a book and an iced tea to enjoy while you're stopped.

🚘 If you're going to be stopped for more than a minute, roll down the windows, turn off your engine and air conditioning, and relax! You'll save fuel and the air will thank you.

🚘 When you make it to the entrance booth, be kind to the rangers. A friendly face is always extra welcome on these busy weekends ❤️

See you soon!

You don't have to travel far to get away!
For both work and play.

The great thing about working from home is the ability to make that "work-from-wherever-I-want." Check out all these fun things to do in the Port Ludlow area during your bleisure trip.
