I went on a touring guide and they
explained why the park was made.
Olympic National Park is a place of tremendous natural diversity and breathtaking beauty with over 922,651 acres of preserved wilderness. Little has changed since its first traces as a home of Native American tribes and, later, its first settlements by Europeans in the late 1500s. President Grover Cleveland designated the Olympic Peninsula's forests as the Olympic Forest Reserve in 1897, forever preserving its serenity and majestic beauty in History. Ultimately, in 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the act establishing Olympic National Park.
In 1981, the Historic Olympic National Park was named a World Heritage site in recognition of its exceptional natural beauty and outstanding diversity of plants and animals. Located in the northwest of Washington State, Olympic National Park is renowned for the diversity of its ecosystems. An extensive old growth forest surrounds glacier-clad peaks interspersed with many alpine meadows, making Olympic National Park the best example of intact and protected temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest.
