Comprised of four distinct regions, coastal, alpine, temperate rainforest, and drier forest land Olympic NP offers a huge variety of subjects and locations for the nature photographer. President Theodore Roosevelt originally designated the park as Mount Olympus National Monument on March 2, 1909. The monument was re-designated a National Park on June 29, 1938. In 1976, Olympic National Park was designated by UNESCO as an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 as a World Heritage Site.
