Olympic National Park - Hurricane Ridge
Olympic National Park is located west of the Seattle, Washington area on the Olympic Peninsula. Here you will find Pacific Ocean beaches, rain forest valleys, glacier-capped peaks and a stunning variety of plants and animals. Roads provide access to the outer edges of the park, but the heart of Olympic is wilderness; a primeval sanctuary for humans and wild creatures alike.
