Bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, Olympic Peninsula is in the northwest corner of the US, in the Washington state. This is the home of some of the world's largest trees, many draped with thick cloaks of moss, and an astounding array of mushrooms and lichens. Olympic National Park, designated a World Heritage Site and Biosphere, rests in the heart of the Peninsula. Some popular tourist attractions in the area are Hurricane Ridge, Hoh Rain Forest, Crescent Lake, Rialto Beach and the Tongue Point.
