Olympic National Park offers a great variety of natural beauty including snowcapped mountain peaks, vast tracts of old-growth forest, rugged unspoiled shores and a temperate rain forest. It is an ideal destination for hiking, camping, backpacking, sea kayaking and sightseeing.
The Olympic peninsula is located in the state of Washington, west of Seattle, at the northwestern tip of the lower 48 states. It is a square-shaped peninsula, approximately 100 miles on each side, bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west, Puget Sound on the east and the Straight of Juan de Fuca on the north.
Olympic National Park is a total of 50-mile circular area located at the center of the peninsula and in most of the Pacific shoreline. You can see much of the National Forest when you visit the place.
