What is the coolest national park in the US (outside Alaska) and why is it Olympic? Beautiful beaches, dense rainforest, massive glaciers. What more could you want?

Olympic is trash it's all run down there's like 2 entrances that have been closed for a decade and it's surrounded by natives and reservations and it's 25 miles each way if you want to summit Olympus and you could die in "the big one" at any time. Nah miss me with that shit cuz.
>>2878873>it's 25 miles each way if you want to summit OlympusOh no! Not a few days backpacking along a well-maintained trail through a beautiful rainforest, up into alpine meadows, and then across glacier. How terrible!
>>2878873>there's like 2 entrances that have been closed for a decadesauce?
Olympic has a bit of everything but I found that it doesn't have the best of anything in the PNW so I don't rate it that highly. The Redwood forests in California were way better for me, the coast in Oregon was better, and the mountains, lakes, waterfalls and glaciers elsewhere in Washington were betterAnd the coolest national park in the US (in the world) is Yellowstone
>>2878873A wilderness area nearly 40 miles in diameter is in fact a good thing
>>2878938Tbh.
