description Olympic National Park Overview

Olympic's defining feature is its remarkable ecosystem diversity within one park. It protects a wild Pacific coastline with sea stacks, the lush Hoh and Quinault temperate rainforests, and the alpine meadows and glaciers of the Olympic Mountains. Visitors can experience three distinct worlds in a single day: beachcombing at Rialto Beach, hiking among moss-draped maples, and taking in panoramic views from Hurricane Ridge. This variety offers exceptional value, appealing to beach lovers, rainforest enthusiasts, and mountain hikers alike.

Its vast, roadless interior wilderness provides true solitude, making it a top choice for those seeking comprehensive Pacific Northwest landscapes.
