       Often referred to as “three parks in one,” Olympic National Park encompasses three distinct ecosystems -- rugged glacier capped mountains with their sub alpine forests and wildflower meadows, magnificent stands of old growth and temperate rain forests, and more than sixty miles of wild Pacific coastline. There are sixteen species of wildflowers and animals in the park that exist no place else on earth.  An early visit will be to Hurricane Ridge, where we can view Blue Glacier (and area that receives 500 inches of snow per year) and the resident black-tailed deer. Fog often hangs over the rivers in the deep valleys and the turquoise-colored water flows rapidly through the glacier-fed rivers and lakes, and over the numerous waterfalls. The shrouded canopy of the Hoh Rain Forest and the low tides at Tongue Point offer great midday shooting opportunities. Unforgettable sunsets visit the rock stacks and beaches of the peninsula’s west coast.  Washington has some fo the best tide pools to explore.
