The scenic Pugit Sound Coast, which encompasses the state capital of Washington, was formed millions of years ago by a retreating glacier. The Olympic Peninsula split from the continent in prehistoric times. For centuries, nature has been equipping this enchanting place. Some plants and animals of these places can be found only here. They belong to rare species and in order to prevent their extinction at the end of the 19th century, the area was partially protected. In 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt gave the island the status of a national natural monument. In 1938, during the reign of Franklin Roosevelt, Olympic was officially listed as an American national park.

Olympic National Park boasts an incredible variety of landscapes - mountains, rivers, waterfalls, high headlands, ocean coast, endless forests - all this can be seen far from the bustle of the city.

Located in the most northwestern United States, Olympic National Park is a protected area containing a wealth of wildlife.

The park has three distinct ecosystems:

• Subalpine forests and wild meadows;

• Rain forest;

• Coastal strip of the Pacific coast.

These three distinct ecosystems are specially protected and can give you an idea of ​​the natural diversity in the same park.

Due to the uniqueness of its location and natural diversity, Olympic Park in 1976 became an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
