Olympus and its five glaciers are at the core of the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park in Washington state.

Visiting the Olympic Peninsula in June means we don&#8217;t have to share the experience with many other visitors.

Driving towards the Pacific Ocean from Seattle, Washington, through small historic towns on our way to the coast, we began to adjust to our new surroundings.

I am pleased to report that I finally made it! It was worth the wait to see the thousands of spring-flowering bulbs.
