Linda writes us:

Something to aspire to!

Update: During her dynamic, oral report after class on 7/15/17, Linda described how part of the wonder of this trip was being able to tour the coastline, climb mountain peaks, and experience the deep rainforest as the Olympic  Peninsula offers extremely diverse terrain.

More About Olympic National Forest

“The Olympic National Forest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington State.  The Olympic Peninsula is synonymous with diversity. Landscape settings range from temperate rain forest to rain shadow, saltwater beaches to snow capped mountains, and large lowland lakes to mountain tarns.” (Courtesy of the US Forest Service)

“Olympic National Forest is a U.S. National Forest located in Washington, USA. With an area of 628,115 acres (2,541.89 km2), it nearly surrounds Olympic National Park and the Olympic Mountain range…The landscape of the national forest varies, from the temperate Olympic rain forest to the salt water fjord of Hood Canal to the peaks of Mt. Washington. Annual precipitation averages about 220 inches (5.6 m), giving rise to streams such as the Humptulips River. Olympic National Forest was originally created as Olympic Forest Reserve in 1897, then renamed to Olympic National Forest in 1907. A 1993 Forest Service study estimated that the extent of old growth in the Forest was 266,800 acres (108,000 ha).” (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
