Has anyone here been to Olympic National Park?

Planning on going there with a close friend during Spring Break. I'm already looking foward to it. I've heard great stuff. If you've been, can you please tell me about it? What did you really like?Has anyone here been to Olympic National Park?
Yes, I've been there many times and it is absolutely gorgeous. Here are some of the highlights:



Hurricane Ridge, but beware of the mountain goats on the trails - just give them plenty of space and yield to to them - a man who challenged one on a trail was recently killed



Lake Crescent - a beautiful spot for a picnic



Sol Duc Hot Springs



The Hoh Rain Forest - bring your rain gear and hike the 2 short trails. There are also 2 other rainforest areas - the Queets and Quinault



Lake Ozette - hike a 9 mile loop hike out to the beach and see old petroglyphs along the way



The Beaches - Kalaloch, Rialto and Ruby - all absolutely gorgeous
