Olympic National Park is in Washington State and was originally established as a national monument in 1909. The area is known for its large Sitka spice and Douglas fir trees, which can be found in the Hoh and Queets rainforest valleys on the western side of the park. The area's temperate rainforest climate creates lush thick moss and dense vegetation that gives the setting a fairytale quality.

The summers are typically mild during the summer months with wet winters being common. If you want to see the sun, your best best is during the months of July and August. During the winter months snowfall can be heavy in the mountains.
Sights
Like with most national parks, Olympic National Park is all about the unexpected experiences and wildlife sightings. In Hoh Rainforest it's not uncommon to see herds of elk and other wildlife.

Plenty of family-friendly activities can be found here too, so check out this list of things to do with kids in Olympic NP. There are also a number of beaches, usually designated simply by a number. Sol Duc Hot Springs are also another popular place to visit. There's also a swimming pool where you can take a dip.
Regions
Olympic National Park can be divided into several different regions that each have their own habitats and landscapes.

Hoh Rainforest has a moss covered forest where it's not uncommon to spot herds of elk. From there it's an 18 milk hike that leaves from the Hoh Visitor Center and climbs to the summit of Mt. Olympus.

Hurricane Ridge is another area that has a diversity of hiking trails. This is a great area to see wildflowers in the summer and views of the surrounding Olympic mountain range.

Lake Crescent is a glacial lake that has a striking blue color and clear water. The Lyre River flows out of it and it's fed by nearby creeks. The area has a number of great trails.

The Coastal Strip is the natural coastline with dramatic views. It can be reached from Kalaloch, La Push, Ozette, and Neah Bay.

Cape Flattery, which is actually outside of the park on the Makah Indian reservation. It offers spectacular views of sea caves and a dramatic coastline.
