Sunset at Olympic National Park - National Park Photo |
The park is located on the Olympic Peninsula and has four regions: the Pacific coastline, alpine, western rainforest, and eastern forests. In 1988, 95 percent of the park was designated the Olympic Wilderness by Congress.
The Northwest features so much beauty, it's hard not to want to spend vacation time every year in the area. I especially want to visit Mount Olympus which is 7, 965 feet high. It receives lots of snowfall and has the highest glaciation of any non-volcanic mountain in the 48 states.
Camera in hand, I look forward to visiting Olympic National Park.

That park has been around a while.
Yes, Alex. The oldest ones are especially impressive.
I've never made it that far out west, but it looks so beautiful, I might have to make an effort to get out there.
What a STUNNING pic! Really lovely!
I would love to visit this.. I've never really been to any of our national parks, but someday I hope to experience them!
Sounds amazing - some place to keep in mind for vacation. Would love to see your pictures! :) Writer’s Mark
Roosevelt did love his parks. I've been close to that park but never visited.
It would be hard to top that sunset. Stunning.
