Washington State Parks

The Olympic Peninsula is a world unto itself. The forces of nature have given us a special land of mountains, forests and coast. Mount Olympus rises from the park's center-climbing to 7,965 feet. There are 266 glaciers on these beautiful mountains. The rain forests receive up to 14 feet of rain every year. There are five species of animals and eight plants here that are found no where else on earth! Sea stacks and arches poke from the 60 miles of coastal water, while the tidal zone displays a diversity of marine life. This is truly a special and extraordinary park. We love it at Olympic National Park and plan to return often!
