Olympic National Park is an American national park located in the State of Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. The park has four regions: the Pacific coastline, alpine areas, the west side temperate rainforest and the forests of the drier east side. Within the park there are three distinct ecosystems which are subalpine forest and wildflower meadow, temperate forest, and the rugged Pacific coast.
President Theodore Roosevelt originally designated Mount Olympus National Monument on 2 March 1909.

The Olympic National park is an absolute treasure. My favorite place. I feel so lucky to live close.
-
Killer whales are by far the most gorgeous creatures on earth.
-
There's a lot more going on in this video besides orcas hunting. This means your title is incorrect. It should be called The Olympic National Park Wildlife or something along those lines. Besides that, this is an amazing varied and stunningly beautiful portrayal of the denizens of said park.

Am always blown away while watching the orcas There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing them Interact with humans & also breaching 🙏❤️🏴

"To survive, an adult can burn up to 200.000 calories a day..." Gym trainer: So, what's your goal? Me: Killer whale

who wrote this script? I think they missed a few cliches. excellent high-school quality.

For people wanting to visit, there are not very many towns but plenty of camp grounds and vacation rentals. You will have to book stuff a long while in advance. Most of the roads can be impassable in winter and spring, and summer is very crowded.

"...river otters are aware that something is fishy here." 😂

We all owe God a ty for giving us a beautiful planet to view. We also owe it to him to take care of all his creatures on land and sea . They are all here for a reason.

Excellent documentary. Great footage. Olympic National Park is incredible. I've never been to New Zealand but it looks like the Olympic Peninsula in photos.
-
Great job. All of the National Park series are well filmed. Transient Orcas eating mammals at the beginning. Resident Orcas eating salmon at the end of the film. Gives a good summary of the entire Park. We lived in Kitsap County from 1999-2001,my wife and I enjoyed visiting this park numerous times
