Olympic National Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[Last Modified: Aug 03, 2008]
Olympic National Park is located in the U.S. state of Washington, in the Olympic Peninsula. The park can be divided into three basic regions: the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains, and the temperate rainforest.

In 1976, Olympic National Park became an...

Olympic Mountains Trail Guide: National Park & National Forest 3rd Edition

(14 votes)Editorial Review - Amazon.com
Whether you're planning an actual trip to the Olympic Mountains or searching for the vicarious thrills of a smart guidebook, Robert L. Wood's encyclopedic knowledge of this enchanting wilderness at the edge of the Pacific will inform and enthrall. This is not a quickie job: the author has hiked every one of the trails he details here (over a hundred) backwards and forwards, most of them more than once, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Before you know it you'll be an expert too--rattling off, for instance, peaks visible from Dodger Point (Rainier, Olympus, the Bailey Range), and the name for the "noisy chatter" along the Putvin Trail (Whitehorse Creek). Divided into two main...

Olympic National Park Impressions

(2 votes)Customer Review - Inspiring Images
If you want to see the beauty of Olympic NP then this book showcases its grandure. Very inspiring images of many subjects makes me want to go back every time I pick up the book. This book shows the common and the uncommon locations and subject of the area. It does not provide area information (nor does it claim to) just, as the title states, impressions. Well worth the price.

(1 vote)Customer Review - Map for a good overview of Olympic National Park
This contour map provides a lot of information on a 25.5 by 37.5 inch piece of paper that folds down to approximately 4.375 by 9 inches. The paper has a glossy surface and is a heavier stock than used for road maps to improve its abilitiy to withstand typical handling. The paper is supposed to be waterproof and tear resistant. My experience is these Trails Illustrated maps hold up reasonably well but will definitely show some wear at crease lines if used a lot. The scale is 1 cm = 1 km or 1 inch = 1.6 miles with a 100 foot contour interval.
One side of the map details the bulk of the park which is away from the west coast and includes the eastern or drier part of the park. This...
