Description
Between the rugged peaks of the Olympic Mountains and the wild shores of the Pacific lies the hushed green world of the Olympic rain forest - one of the unspoiled wonders of North America. In three river valleys sculptured by glaciers - the Hoh, the Queets, the Quinault - and in parts of others, topography and climate have combined to create the only coniferous rain forest in the world. This virgin area receives an annual rainfall as high as 160 inches and possesses vegetation equal in density to that of the tropics, although strikingly different in character.
