The largest intact stand of coniferous forest in the contiguous 48 states and the largest truly wild herd of Roosevelt elk. The park contains one of the most pristine ecosystems in the contiguous United States with over 1200 higher plants over 300 species of birds and over 70 species of mammals. Of the 390 parks managed by the National Park Service, Olympic National Park has the greatest diversity of natural soundscape and the greatest extent of natural quiet.”
