About Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park encompasses nearly a million acres of the Olympic Peninsula, protecting three distinct ecosystems: glacier-clad mountains, old-growth temperate rainforests receiving up to 12 feet of rain per year, and 73 miles of wild Pacific coastline. The park's isolation on a peninsula has created unique species found nowhere else on Earth, including the Olympic marmot and Olympic torrent salamander. From the summit of Mount Olympus to the tide pools of Rialto Beach, the park's diversity is unmatched.
