A visit to Olympia really isn't complete unless you take some time to stroll among the impressive classical architecture and some surprising mid-century and contemporary buildings and hidden gems of the whole campus. And a lovely trail behind the Temple of Justice switches back down to the "lake" (it's actually a dammed river estuary) for a 1.5 mile stroll with other parks and trails branching out from there.

Fun to walk in & do a guided or self tour of the Capital building. Beautiful front doors & ceiling in the center of the building. The fountain & gardens are nice to look at & there is an amazing view of Capital Lake & the Puget Sound at the top of the switchbacks in Downtown Olympia.
