11:58 AM LOCAL TIMESet across a vast swath of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, Olympic National Park is a tapestry of wilderness and ecosystems. The park’s lower slopes are cloaked in temperate rainforest — ancient trees like Sitka spruce and western red cedar draped in moss and lichen — giving way to temperate grasslands and windswept dunes along the coast. High above, the volcanic massif of Mount Olympus and surrounding peaks (elevation up to ~8,340 ft/2,540 m) host alpine meadows, glaciers, and permanent snowfields. Trails traverse varied terrain: backcountry routes and scenic day hikes wind through forests, cross high passes, and descend to isolated lakes. The park's coastal areas—Hoh Rainforest, Kalaloch, and Ruby Beach—are renowned for tidal pools, driftwood beaches, and dramatic sea stacks. Whether paddling on high-mountain lakes, storm-watching on the Pacific, or hiking through lush valleys, visitors find dramatic scenery and a variety of outdoor activities.
