OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Résumé

Olympic National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty combining a stormy coastline and numerous offshore islands with glacier-capped mountains and alpine parklands rising above an extensive mountain-slope rainforest. This is the largest and most intact rainforest of temperate latitudes with some of the world's largest conifers. Ten major river systems radiate from the massif with some of the best anadromous fish habitat in the country. It also has 90 km of the longest wilderness coast in the contiguous United States, and is rich in native and endemic animals and plants, including critical populations of the endangered marbled murrelet and bull trout.
