Olympic National Park, A Natural History
Tim McNulty goes through Olympic National Park one ecosystem at a time, traveling from the mountains to the forests and on to the coast before turning his attention to the impact humans have had on the park's landscape. There's also a quick help section that tells you where to go to see wildflowers, old-growth forests, and wildlife. Too, he tosses in species checklists to help you keep track of what you've seen.
The title of McNulty's book, a collaborative effort that blends his narrative with Indigenous voices and amazing photography, views the region in four parts: Salmon, Cedar, Rock & Rain, Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
