The article discusses the Olympic National Park in Washington. The Olympic Peninsula, at the core of which lies the Park, has been fairly called America's last frontier. Warm, moisture-laden air drifting in from the Pacific rises and cools as it strikes the western slopes of the Olympic range. Spring comes late in the mountain meadows. At five thousand feet, snow lies on the northern slopes and the massed flowers reach their peak of bloom. Among the trees near timberline another struggle is apparent. It is not for light but for shelter. Groves of seedlings grow up in the protection of one old tree and there are several hundreds of trees in a single clump.
