#OurWorldIsAwesome – Edition 16
Olympic National Park is a fascinating place. It contains three distinct ecosystems: temperate rainforest, a beautiful rugged coastline, and glaciated mountains. There are very few places in the world that combine all three.
The rainforests within the park collectively form the largest temperate rainforest in the world, with annual rainfall of almost 12 feet – one of the highest in the US.
Crescent Lake is stunning thanks to just how clear it is.
There are beautiful old sulfuric hot springs. The forests in which you hike feel like they could easily be 1,000 years old. The trees really feel like old growth trees and they transport you instantly to a different ecosystem.
There’s so much water flowing around the park. And every spot is just picturesque.
The National Park property at Kalaloch Lodge along the coast is stunning in its simplicity, look, and prime location. The tide pools at the beaches are lovely too.
The park truly transports you because of just how lush and pretty the landscape is.
Extremely beautiful. And special.
