Mount Olympus is the highest peak in Washington's Olympic Mountain Range. It is one of the most striking mountains in Washington despite its average elevation. Olympus is an intricate massif with three peaks surrounded by glaciers. The peaks are three of the four highest peaks in the Olympic Range.

The glaciers of Mount Olympus is one of the main features of Olympic National Park. The park was designated a National Monument in 1909 by President Theodore Roosevelt, but in 1938 it became a National Park.

Best time to climb is late June through early September. Glacier travel, rock fall and avalanche potential are some of the dangers in climbing this peak. Climbing parties are requested to register for their climb at the Glacier Meadows Ranger Station.There is $5 registration fee for a permit to camp in the wilderness.
