The Olympic Mountains, a majestic range located on the Olympic Peninsula, are a highlight of the Pacific Northwest's diverse landscape. This range is not particularly high, with Mount Olympus standing as the tallest peak at 7,980 feet, but the mountains are notable for their steep eastern slopes that rise abruptly from sea level and their lush, densely forested western slopes, which are known as the wettest area in the contiguous United States. Protected within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, these mountains offer a stunning array of ecosystems and are a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
