The Roads of Olympic |
| Olympic National Park is a huge, mostly untouched wilderness. While US-101 loops around the park (and through it in the Lake Crescent and Kalaloch areas), only a few spur roads head into the park. Even these roads only provide access to the relatively small developed areas of the park. Still, within a few days it is possible to see an incredible variety of ecosystems, from alpine tundra to temperate rain forest to rugged ocean shores. Olympic is a world class destination for both the casual tourist (with some time) and those seeking true wilderness experiences. |
