In light of tomorrow’s predicted storm, and to prevent visitors and employees from being injured or trapped by falling trees or branches, the following Olympic National Park roads and campgrounds will close ahead of the storm. Areas and facilities will remain closed through at least Monday morning. Park staff will work to reopen all areas as soon as possible once the storm passes and any necessary cleanup and damage repairs are completed.
