Olympic National Park, located in the northwest corner of Washington State, spans nearly one million acres, offering a stunning mosaic of ecosystems from its rugged Pacific coastline to the rainforest-clad valleys and the high peaks of the Olympic Mountains. Central to the park is Mount Olympus, rising to 7,965 feet, with its glaciers and snowfields feeding the rivers that carve through the landscape.

The park's diverse environments support an incredible variety of flora and fauna, including the lush, moss-draped forests of the Hoh Rainforest, one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S. Olympic National Park's coastline features unspoiled beaches, tide pools, and sea stacks, providing critical habitat for marine life and seabirds.

The park's isolation and diversity of habitats have led to high levels of endemism among plants and animals, making it a unique place for biodiversity. With its combination of natural beauty and ecological complexity, Olympic National Park offers visitors a chance to explore and appreciate a truly wild and pristine corner of the United States.
