Olympic National Park, United States
Olympic National Park encompasses nearly a million acres of the Olympic Peninsula, containing one of the largest temperate rainforests in the US, glacier-topped peaks reaching 7,980 feet at Mount Olympus, and 73 miles of wild Pacific coastline. The Hoh Rain Forest receives 12 to 14 feet of rain annually, nurturing cathedral-like groves draped in mosses and ferns.
