Olympic National Park

There’s a reason I keep returning to Olympic National Park—it’s a place that feels alive with mystery and possibility. Spanning over 900,000 acres, this extraordinary park is home to rainforests dripping with moss, mountains crowned with glaciers, rugged coastlines shaped by relentless waves, and rivers and lakes teeming with life. It’s a land of contrasts and harmony, offering something new with every season.

What truly sets Olympic apart is its wildness. With 95% of the park undeveloped, it remains a sanctuary for those seeking to escape the noise of everyday life and immerse themselves in nature’s raw, unfiltered beauty. Here, I’ve stood beneath towering evergreens, walked along mist-shrouded beaches, and witnessed light breaking through the canopy in ways that feel like magic.

Every visit feels like a new chapter in a never-ending story. The morning mist clings to the rainforest like a secret, while the crashing waves along the coastline speak of timeless power. The rivers flow with an urgency that contrasts the stillness of glacial lakes, creating a rhythm unique to this place. Olympic is not just a destination—it’s an experience, a connection, and a reminder of the beauty that exists when nature is left untamed.
