    I found that Olympic National Park doesn't really have any tourist traps or busy spots. We found it to be quite a serene and calm National Park to visit compared to many others. The only places that might get a little busier is Hurricane Ridge and the Hoh Rain Forest. It can be fairly busy in these areas, especially in the summer months when the weather is nice or in the weekends.

    If you want to avoid larger crowds, then visit these places early in the day or later in the afternoon as it is much calmer at those times.

    I would not suggest an alternative as these are 2 places one should see during their visit to Olympic National Park.

    The drive to Highway 101 on the Olympic Peninsula is long and winding. Although the curves are smooth going up and down the hill, just take pre-cautionary measures. There are slow drivers especially those driving campers and RVs (recreational vehicles). While driving, we were looking at the lake but we can't really have a good view of the lake. There are so many tall trees blocking the views. You can slow down your drive but watch out for Look-outs to have a better view of the Crescent Lake. There are only four Look-outs as you go down the hill. If you miss the first one, there are three more. It is actually difficult to see them because there are no warning signs at all. The one iss the last Look-Out where the park rangers put a map of the lake and a very good safe parking.

    Just keep on driving down the hill. Once you see some views of the lake, you know that there are look-outs already. Just be patient. There are at least four Look-outs of the Crescent Lake!

    Stop at the last Look-out. It is far safer, if you have children running around. You have a better view of the lake.
