List of Slides for Olympic NP

• This picture, looking south from Hurricane Ridge toward the high country, hints at the grandeur of Olympic NP.
• Young volcanic rocks interlayered with limestone stand vertically on edge here, mute witnesses to the power of the tectonic forces that shaped this region.
• The area was originally protected to preserve the Roosevelt elk. In the process, the magnificent Hoh temperate rain forest was also preserved - trees 300 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter!
• Sea stacks stand on the horizon at Rialto Beach. The flat rocks in the foreground represent a former wave-cut platform that has been raised above sea level.
