Olympic's Living Classroom

Studying in Olympic's classroom of wild coast, ancient rain forest, and rugged mountains is typically a very wet experience. Muddy too. But what wonders await in this living classroom!

Are you curious about this diverse wilderness park? Would you like to explore a rain forest valley or hike on a glacier? Do you have a school project due soon?

As you explore the various links on our website you will find brochures and handouts that provide information on a variety of park topics. Don't forget to check out the "News" section for insight into current events and issues.

We hope you will be able to visit this living classroom someday. Just be sure to pack your umbrella!

marmot  

Did You Know?
Although related to other marmots and groundhogs of North America, the Olympic marmot is unique. An endemic species, it is found only in the Olympic Mountains. Visitors to the high country of Olympic National Park may be lucky enough to encounter a marmot sunning itself near its burrow.
