It is one of the most diverse regions in the country with spectacular mountains, rugged coastlines, and verdant rain forests.

Then, head inland to the heart of the peninsula and Olympic National Park, famous for graceful waterfalls, breathtaking glaciers, old-growth rain forest, and an abundance of wildlife. This is the Olympic Peninsula in all its splendor and magnificence--in all its grace and grandeur.

In 100 vivid, stunning photos and extended captions, this volume captures the impressive area and serves as a cherished souvenir or gift.
