Olympic Mountains, Mountain range and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Washington, United States
The Olympic Mountains form a circular formation with steep peaks surrounded by densely forested foothills and cut by deep valleys in Washington state.
President Theodore Roosevelt designated the area as Mount Olympus National Monument in 1909, leading to its establishment as Olympic National Park in 1938.
Native American tribes have inhabited the Olympic Mountains region for thousands of years, developing traditions deeply connected to the natural environment.
The mountains contain numerous hiking trails, campsites, and viewpoints, with Hurricane Ridge providing road access during winter for recreational activities.
The range receives the highest precipitation in the contiguous United States, creating distinct ecosystems from rainforests to dry eastern slopes.
