Olympic
National Park is as wild a place as you can find in the lower
48 states. It's so big that once you wander down a trail away from
the nearest road you're not likely to see too many people. The
Park is also one of the most beautiful places you'll find anywhere.

In Olympic
National Park you'll find everything from sea shore to snow covered
mountains, beautiful blue-green lakes, and glacier fed rivers running
toward the sea. You'll also find the second largest temperate
rain forest in North America. The only other place outside
of North America that you can find a temperate rain forest is in New
Zealand.
Venture up
the Hoh River to the Hoh
Rain Forest and you'll find a strange prehistoric world of giant
sitka spruce and douglas fir covered in moss. Remember
to bring your raincoat because they get over 140 inches of rain per
year which means there aren't too many dry days!
