Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park is located in the Pacific Northwest on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. The Olympic Mountains' majestic peaks and old-growth forests are only two of the park's many distinct ecosystems. Climbers love to ascend the glacier-covered Mt. Olympus, and paths for trekking and backpacking run through the park's rainforests and along its Pacific coast.

On the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, the Olympic National Park caters to all types of nature lovers, including hikers, stargazers, boaters, and photographers. Visitors can explore the almost 1 million acres' glacier-capped mountains, old-growth temperate rainforests, and more than 70 miles of untamed shoreline.

The Olympic Forest Reserve was established by President Grover Cleveland in 1897 in response to growing worries about the region's disappearing forests. As a result of a diminishing Roosevelt Elk population, President Theodore Roosevelt implemented additional safeguards in 1909 by designating a portion of the reserve as the Mount Olympus National Monument. It wasn't given the official designation of national park until 1938, largely because of President Franklin Roosevelt. The Olympic National Park is now both an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site.
