Overview On this world class backpacking trip we hike to a remote valley surrounded by mile high cliffs, waterfalls, and glaciers in the wilderness of Olympic National Park. Known to locals as "The Valley of 10,000 Waterfalls," Enchanted Valley is home to a historic Swiss-style chalet that dates back to the 1930's, as well as the wild Quinault River, Chimney Peak, Quinault Rainforest and Anderson Glacier. This four day hike to Enchanted Valley is the Olympics at their best-crossing creeks and rivers, navigating through mossy forests and breaking into stunning, wide open meadows. And despite penetrating deep into the heart of the Olympics, the elevation change on this trip is moderate- the only heart- pounding on this trail will be from the views.

The class worked in collaboration with the Quinault Indian Nation, the Aberdeen Revitalization Movement, and community organizations. The students were part of the Evergreen program “Resource Rebels: Environmental Justice Movements Building Hope,” which explored the intersections of environmental issues with social issues of race, class, and gender. The program was taught by myself, a geographer working in Native Studies, and Karen Gaul, an anthropologist working in Sustainability Studies. In fall quarter, the class focused on Native American environmental justice issues, and hosted the 1st annual Indigenous Climate Justice Symposium at the Evergreen Longhouse, which included Quinault Indian Nation President Fawn Sharp.

The park includes three distinct ecosystems: coastal, rainforest and sub-alpine with amazing vistas such as glacier-covered mountains, sea stacks and mountain lakes. The park’s nearly million acres are mostly contained within Highway 101, which forms a loop around the peninsula. SEASON Olympic National Park is open year round and each season brings with it a special flair—from snow and storm watching in winter, to hiking and kayaking in summer.

This document identifies species information needs that can be answered through strategic surveys, outlines strategic survey methods and their benefits, and prioritizes surveys for Survey and Manage species at a species range or regional scale. This document is updated annually to reflect changes in species information needs and priorities from previous year’s accomplishments or if new information is needed about the species. If a species changes Survey and Manage categories the strategic survey questions may change for the species. This document will identify survey strategies so that required due dates to complete strategic surveys are met for Category B species (5- year timelines for all taxa groups except fungi, which have a 10-year timeline).

    Washington: Olympic Peninsula Tour Species List June 1 - 9, 2019 Washington: Olympic Peninsula With 7 participants: Beth, Cynthia, Jim, Karen, Margie, Mark and Val Compiled by Woody Wheeler Summary: We encountered a wide array of species on this tour, reflecting the three distinct biomes we travelled through: Temperate Rainforest, Coastal Intertidal, and Alpine. We also spent time in freshwater and salt-marsh ecosystems. Thus, our species ranged from deep-sea-diving alcids, including Pigeon Guillemot, Rhinoceros Auklet, Common Murre, Tufted Puffin and even the threatened Marbled Murrelet; to marine mammals like Harbor Seals and California Sea Lions; to River and Sea Otters; to regional “oddball” species such as Banana Slugs and Rough-skinned Newts; to the endemic Olympic Marmot. The beauty and pristine nature of the landscapes on the Peninsula cannot be overstated.

The comparison of diversity was amazing from what I had read: The Pacific northwest has 5 species of rhododendron including Labrador tea Ledum groenlandicum (N America 27 species total) in contrast to Yunnan with 226 species. The root parasite flowers Pedicularis (Scrophulariaceae family now with species placed in Orobanchaceae) seen in the Washington cascades that include elephants head and lousewort in N America numbers 37 species Top: North America Olympic National Park WA Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) with the largest recorded 96m (317 feet) height and diameter of 5.3 m (17.5 feet) and Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) largest recorded 7m ( 20 feet) diameter and a height of 65m (213 feet) tall.

Oldest trees dates 1800 years, size up to 3.6 m (12 feet) diameter, 65 m (215 ft h).

Aubrey, Nalini M. Nadkarni, and Casey P. Broderick Abstract: The temperate rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula represents a biome that is characterized by unusually high epiphyte biomass and accompanying canopy soils. These canopy communities form thick mats that play important ecological roles: increasing ecosystem nutrient capital, fostering abundant invertebrates, and enhancing moisture retention. Little is known about the physical properties and microenvironmental conditions of these mats. We investigated seasonal patterns in temperature and moisture of canopy soils and compared them to O- and A-horizon terrestrial soils. Temperature tended to fluctuate more in canopy soils than in terrestrial soils. During the 4 months of highest precipitation, canopy soils also showed higher maximum saturation levels than terrestrial soils. Both soil types displayed sharp “dry-downs” during the summer dry season, which contrasts with results from similar research in a tropical cloud forest, where only canopy soils dried significantly during the dry season. In the late summer in the Olympic Rainforest, canopy soils remained dry until the first rainfall, whereas terrestrial soils began to rehydrate a month earlier, possibly through hydraulic redistribution.

  • THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: WASHINGTON and ORGEGON PART 1 OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK I Have Much to Thank My Father and Mother Exploring the Pacific Northwest
    THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: WASHINGTON AND ORGEGON PART 1 OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK I have much to thank my father and mother exploring the Pacific Northwest. Dad introduced me to climbing and Boy Scouting, and with together we joined the Seattle Mountaineers climbing course when I was 14 years old, and completed both climbing courses. At 15 in 1962, I was fortunate to have climbed the major volcanoes: Mt Rainier, Mt Baker, Mt St Helens and Mt Adams. My grandfather and fathers love for the outdoors from fishing and hunting to canoeing and hiking fueled that desire to learn more of our Lords Creation. As a teenager I was fortunate to have climbed in the North Cascades, worked as a summer cooks helper in the Mountaineers summer outing north of Stehekin in Park Creek, and at Holden Village for two summers, climbing peaks around me, most of the time solo. I grew in my passion for finding wild areas and documenting them, buying my first Argus C4 camera at age 15, and photographing film from Bonanaza peak and Glacier Peak wilderness area into Mt Buckner and Mt Booker in the north Cascades. Over the decades I finally shared these experiences with my children, now adults who carry on the exploring tradition. These are images of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains I grew up documenting. OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK Olympic National Park in the Pacific Northwest is part of the world’s largest, pristine temperate rainforests extending from Oregon to SE Alaska, and which supports a large diversity of plants and animals. The park protects 1442 square miles (3735 square kms), encompassing three distinctly different ecosystems: rugged glaciated mountains and alpine meadows, wild Pacific coast, and magnificent old-growth temperate rain forest.
