70: Olympic National Park Fun Facts - Things You Didn’t Know

Let’s head back to Olympic National Park for some fun facts! There is so much to share about this unique national park that it was kind of hard to narrow it down to just five. 

Olympic has so many distinct ecosystems and areas that are so different from the others in this park, and we are excited to dive into what makes this park so special! 

Join us as we discuss: 

• Where the rocks at Olympic National Park come from 
• The surprising number of glaciers you can find in this park
• The plants and animals in this area that you won’t find anywhere else 
• The shocking amount of rain this park gets each year 
• The last place in this park explored and mapped in the lower 48

We hope you love learning these fun facts as much as we do! Olympic is such an incredible park, and we hope you get the chance soon to get out there and explore it for yourself. If you need any help planning your trip, get your itinerary for an hour-by-hour schedule in Olympic!
