Our family fell in love with the national parks since our first visit to Yellowstone in 2016. Every visit since then to other national parks only strengthened us as a family in bringing the best of us in being outdoors and providing the most gratitude to be part of this beautiful mother nature. It makes us appreciate all the great work that goes behind by NPCA team in preserving the parks with persuasion to the government. We can’t wait to be part of all the national park in the near future!
Sincerely,
Olympic National Park
Exploring Olympic’s dynamic landscape is like visiting three parks in one. The high mountains offer snow, glaciers, wilderness and — if you time it right — acres of wildflowers. The lush, verdant Hoh Rainforest is unlike anything else in the Lower 48, and home to Roosevelt elk, black bears and other charismatic wildlife. And the park’s stunning coast offers some of the country's wildest and most spectacular beaches, dotted with tide pools and sea stacks. Visitors can now see where park staff recently removed two large dams, letting the Elwha River flow freely again for the first time in more than 100 years.
