Description
The clouds lifted one cold spring morning and allowed me to make this photograph looking deep into the heart of the rugged Olympic Mountains of Washington State. The winter's ample snowpack remained late into May, which isn't surprising considering the quantities of snow that fall on these majestic mountains.
The Olympic Mountains are a comparatively small range of mountains on the Olympic Peninsula of Northwest Washington. They aren’t particularly high, with Mount Olympus crowning the range at just 7,962 feet elevation. What makes them remarkable is that these rugged mountains literally arise from sea level out of Puget Sound to the east with steep sided valleys that plunge deeply to that level from the mountains.
The upper slopes intercept a very large amount of moisture in the form of snow as it comes ashore from the North Pacific, and the lower slopes receive more precipitation than any other location in the lower 48 states. This photograph was made looking across the Elwha River Valley from Hurricane Ridge at the elevation of 5,242 feet on the north side of the range in Olympic National Park. Olympic National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
