Olympic
National Park Travel PlannerOften referred to as "three parks in one", Olympic National Park encompasses three distinctly different ecosystems—rugged glacier capped mountains, over 60 miles of wild Pacific coast and magnificent stands of old-growth and temperate rain forest. These diverse ecosystems are still largely pristine in character (about 95% of the park is designated wilderness) and are Olympic's gift to you.
Olympic is also known
for its biological diversity. Isolated for eons by glacial ice, thewaters
of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the 
Olympic
Peninsula has developed its own distinct array of plants and animals.
Eight kinds of plants and five kinds of animals are found on the peninsula
and live nowhere else in the world.
