Created in 1897, Olympic National Forest encompasses 628,115 acres of land that nearly surrounds Olympic National Park and the Olympic Mountain range. The forest covers a number of different landscapes, including the rain forest, a salt-water fjord, and the peaks of Mt. Washington.
Activities are available for people of all ages and interests; popular choices include fishing, horse riding, and driving along one of the many scenic routes the park has to offer. The forest is also home to a campground, and overnight guests looking for a little more comfort can rent one of three historic cabins.
