Along Washington State’s rugged coast, Olympic National Park protects 1 million acres of diverse habitat. Coastal fog hits glacier-capped mountains, drenching the land in record rainfall and giving rise to temperate rainforests. One animal calling this national park home is the American Dipper, a semi-aquatic bird with special adaptations to make the most of its watery habitat. Tune in to Unexplored Americas on Tuesdays at 8pm on National Geographic WILD UK. | National Geographic UK

A little glimpse into our Olympic National Park adventures 🌿. This park is so diverse! It has some of the most beautiful forests I've ever hiked through. Here are some top spots to visit while you're there! • Hurricane Ridge- this is the mountainous part and has incredible views and wildlife • Hoh Rainforest • Lake Crescent • Sol Duc Falls • Marymere Falls • Coastal Beaches (I loved checking out the tide pools!) This park is so big! We spent 4 days here and I wish we could've done a little long
