An Intro to Olympic National Park:

This park is one of three national parks in Washington. It's known for having a super diverse ecosystem, including the snowy peaks of Mt. Olympus, the moss-covered trees of the Hoh Rainforest, and the driftwood-covered beaches of the Pacific coastline.

Tips for visiting:

1. Make sure to download a map of the peninsula to use offline as you will lose signal in many places. You can do this in the Google Maps app!

2. Make sure you have any music or podcasts you may want to listen to downloaded beforehand.

3. Be prepared to pay a $30 park pass at the entrance of the National Park.

4. Bring a rainjacket and embrace the unpredictable weather!
