Museums & Parks
 Bed and breakfast travelers who really want to get a feel for Port Angeles and the history behind this great city should go to the Museum at the Carnegie. These Port Angeles exhibits take you down the path of the rich history of the lives of the early settlers, the land, the timber and the agriculture of Clallam County. Bed and breakfast lodgers who enjoy art must go over to the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center and take pleasure in the artwork of hundreds of artists from the Northwest as well as the works of recognized masters. If you’re looking for the best local art from watercolors, to oil and pastels go to the Waterfront Art Gallery.
Bed and breakfast travelers who are outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy visiting Olympic National Park. A natural wonder, this unique park is the highlight to any Port Angeles vacation. The eye catching snow-capped peaks of Hurricane Ridge, the seventy-three miles of stunning Pacific coast, the sandy beaches, the 12 mile glacially carved lake (Lake Crescent), the wilderness trails and the astonishing wildlife have been enticing Port Angeles visitors for many years. Whether you just want to spend the day at the park or perhaps do some serious backpacking and camping remember to stop by the visitor's center for the orientation program, a map of the park and some literature to help plan your tour. If you're looking to spend part of a day at a very nice park that's just 15 miles east of Port Angeles, go to the Dungeness Recreation Area. The park offers horseback riding, hunting, hiking, bird watching and camping for those of you who decide to spend the night. To experience another perfect day in the great Port Angeles outdoors, visit the Sol Duc River Valley. The six-mile hike through the trails leads to the picturesque Sol Duc Falls and the Sol Duc Hotsprings. After all that exercise, you may want to relax and unwind in the mineral pools and let the very warm 90-105 degree temperatures of the hot springs sooth your tired muscles and whatever else ails you. Afterwards, you can relieve yourself by taking a relaxing nap at your Port Angeles bed and breakfast or indulge yourself in other remedies that your bed and breakfast may offer you.
