Located
in northwestern Washington. Olympic National Park has ocean beaches,
rain forest valleys, and snow covered mountains. The park is open all
year but some roads and park facilities are closed in the winter. With
over 900,000 acres, there are endless possibilities for recreation and
relaxation. Backpacking, camping, fishing, walking along sandy beaches
or an easy stroll through the rain forest are just some of the activities
to choose from. Olympic has a wide range of climate conditions. About
twelve feet of rain falls each year on the west-facing valleys and only
about 2 feet of rain falls on the east side of the mountains. Come prepared
for a wide range of conditions regardless of when you visit. Rain gear
is essential. July, August and September are the driest months.
