Olympic National Park's centerpiece is Mount Olympus,
home of the Thunderbird. Its peak is an honest 8000 feet (well almost), and by
honest I mean the base of Mt. Olympus is at sea level.
Even better, the Western edge of the park is the Pacific Ocean, so there
are true rain forests which gets more than 12 feet
of rain per year.
With postcard worthy scenery that can be found anywhere in the park,
it belongs in my must visit park list.

Mount Rainier National Park probably would have been much more
majestic had it not been hidden by clouds while I was there. I mean, it was nice
the day before, but not on the day I could visit the park.
As a matter of fact, I saw the volcano only once, when entering a rest area in
Washington on I-94. But never again the entire trip...
