Daniel J. Evans Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Olympic National Park, Washington, United States
The Daniel J. Evans Wilderness spans across 877,000 acres with 600 miles of trails through mountains, valleys, and undeveloped Pacific coastline.
In 1988, the Washington Parks Wilderness Act established this protected area, which was renamed in 2016 to honor Senator Daniel J. Evans.
The Skokomish, Quinault, Queets, Hoh, Quileute, Makah, and Klallam tribes maintain traditional stewardship of these ancestral lands.
Visitors can access the wilderness through numerous trailheads, with Hurricane Ridge Trail, Hoh River Trail, and Ruby Beach Trail among the main entry points.
Mount Olympus, reaching 7,980 feet, supports the third largest glacial system in the continental United States within this wilderness area.
