Happy Great Outdoors Month! We’re celebrating our nation’s stunning public lands by spotlighting some of our favorite places to visit in the Pacific Northwest.
First up: Olympic National Park in Washington. About 100 miles from Seattle, Olympic is a place of beauty and variety. Untamed rivers flow from glacier-capped peaks through valleys of old-growth forests, waves crash against a shoreline rich with life, and only trails traverse the vast interior of this internationally recognized wilderness. Pictured here is sunrise from the park’s Second Beach. Photo by Glenn Nelson (www.sharetheexperience.org).
