Formed and framed by all manner of water, Mount Olympus reached 7,965 feet, higher than any Olympic peak. This mountain monarch inspired Northwest Indian legends and stirred early explorers. It continues to entice the adventurer.

If that be not the home where dwell the gods, it is certainly beautiful enough to be, and I therefore will call it Mount Olympus.

Captain John Meares,
