About

Few places pack this much variety into one park boundary: glaciated alpine peaks, temperate rainforest (the only one in the contiguous US), and 117 km of wild Pacific coastline. Mt. Olympus, the high point, sits less than 50 km from open ocean and catches over 3,800 mm of precipitation annually — feeding 60 named glaciers and the Hoh, Quinault, and Queets rainforests. The peninsula was never glaciated to its core, so it harbors species found nowhere else.
