Description

Olympic National Park in Washington State is one of the most diverse natural landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, combining glacier-capped mountain peaks, ancient temperate rainforests, and a wild Pacific coastline. The park is known for the moss-draped Hoh Rain Forest, the sweeping mountain panoramas of Hurricane Ridge, and the rugged coastal scenery of Rialto Beach with its striking sea stacks and tide pools. Olympic blends alpine wilderness with lush forests and a largely unspoiled coastline, providing protected habitat for numerous native and endemic species. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, Olympic National Park is considered one of the most remarkable wilderness areas in the United States.
