- Significance: The road system of Olympic National Park is largely organic in character, having been laid down over the years as need and happenstance dictated. When the Park Service took over management of the area in 1933, it inherited the vast majority of this system. The only major road planned and built under Park Service administration is the new Heart O' the Hills-Hurricane Ridge route constructed between 1949 and 1959. This route, as well as the decision not to construct other new roads in the park, reflect Olympic's designation as a wilderness park. Olympic's road system is intended to bring the visitor to the wilderness with the least possible disturbance of that wilderness.
