Olympics National Park
we make a challenge to take picture
of elk with the grandest horns

Surround yourself with lush greenery in Washington's Olympic National Park. Trails and roads provide access to the Quinault and Hoh river valleys, with some of the most spectacular examples of the nation's remaining temperate rainforests (the area receives 12 to 14 feet of rain annually) . The park also boasts the largest population of Western elk in the United States, so keep your eyes peeled for these elegant animals roaming among the Sitka spruce, giant western hemlock, ferns, and over the moss carpeting the forest floor.
