The Peaks of Olympus
Mount Olympus and the Bailey Range, as seen from Hurricane Ridge in Washington state's Olympic National Park. Despite only topping out at 7,980 ft (2,430 m), Olympus rises over 7,000 ft (2,130 m) from the 961 ft (293 m) elevation confluence of the Hoh River with Hoh Creek in only 5.5 miles (8.8 km).
Due to heavy winter snowfalls, Mount Olympus supports large glaciers, despite its modest elevation and relatively low latitude. These glaciers include Blue, Hoh, Humes, Jeffers, Hubert, and White, the longest of which is Hoh at 3.06 miles (4.93 km). The largest is Blue with a volume of 0.14 cubic miles (0.57 km3) and area of 2.05 square miles (5.31 km2). [Wikipedia]
