The Olympic Quarter is the EIGHTH in the new America The Beautiful Quarter Series. The reverse of the Hot Springs National Park Quarter features a Roosevelt elk and the Hoh River in the foreground, with Mount Olympus in the background. The Roosevelt elk is the largest elk species in North America; it was named for Theodore Roosevelt, who led efforts to preserve the elk and its habitat at Olympic National Park. The Hoh River originates at the Hoh Glacier on Mount Olympus and flows through the Hoh Rain Forest and the Hoh Indian Reservation before reaching the Pacific Ocean.
