Lying between Hood Canal and the Pacific Ocean and ex-tending from the Strait of Juan de Fuca southward toward theChehalis river valley is the vast Olympic Peninsula, whose re-sources and wonders are probably less known than almost anyother section of the world. The central portion constitutes onegreat forest reserve within which is the Olympic National Monu-ment set apart by the government for the enjoyment of naturelovers. The population is distributed among the cities and townssituated on the level lands skirting the waterfront. This Monu-ment contains the most rugged mountains, the deepest canyons,the most turbulent rivers and the thickest forests in the state. The Peninsula is now reached both by steamer and automo-bile.
