Olympic National Park
Olympic National Parkis located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington, United States, and is a comprehensive national park that blends three major natural landscapes: mountains, rainforests, and coastlines. Due to its unique geographical location and abundant rainfall, it has long maintained a pristine and magnificent natural environment. Because of the ample rainfall throughout the year, the forests here possess extremely vigorous vitality. Tall Sitka spruces and hemlocks reach toward the sky, the thick branches of bigleaf maples are covered with thick green moss, and the ground is layered with ferns. After entering the rainforest trails, visitors feel as if they are in a green maze, where the humid air, dense vegetation, and tranquil environment create an atmosphere like a fairy tale world. Lake Crescent within the park showcases a tranquil view shaped by glaciers. This deep lake, formed by glacial movement, has clear, blue water and is surrounded by forests and mountains, making it an ideal spot for boating, fishing, and leisurely sightseeing.Jefferson County · 23.4 km from downtown

My classmates who are far away in Canada rarely post photos and travel information about scenery, but this national park is an exception. Not only is it compared with Banff and Jiuzhaigou, but it also receives rare likes and support.

Ruby Beach is near the Olympic Park, and it is very convenient to get here. The water in the park is crystal clear and very beautiful. The beach is long and clean, and the sand is very soft. It is a place worth traveling for 100 days.

You can walk to the Seattle 520 Bridge from Bellevue, as shown in Figure 1. There is also a beautiful park and parking lot here. If you like to walk across the bridge, you can reach Seattle. If you like to take the bus, you can also do so. The bus station is just below the parking lot. There are many buses and the waiting time is not long. It is very convenient.
