Olympic, montes

Olympic, montes
Segmento de la cordillera de la costa del Pacífico en el noroeste del estado de Washington en EE.UU. Estas montañas se extienden por la península Olympic al sur del estrecho de Juan de Fuca y al oeste de la ensenada Puget dentro del parque nacional Olympic.

Los picos principales son el monte Olympus, de 2.428 m (7.965 pies) de alto, y el monte Constance, de 2.360 m (7.743 pies) de alto. Hay mucha precipitación, lo que da origen a selvas tropicales donde predomina el abeto de Douglas y la picea de Sitka. Algunos árboles miden cerca de 90 m (300 pies) de altura y 2,5 m (8 pies) de diámetro.
