Olympic Coast

 We stopped and hiked to Ruby Beach on our way around the coast.  It was beautiful.

We hiked to the World's Largest Sitka Spruce tree.  It is hard to grasp how large it is.

This is the World's Largest Cedar tree.



HOH Rain forest

 We moved over to Forks today and hiked in the Hoh Rain forest.  These pictures are on the Trail of the Mosses.

Hiking in Olymoic NP

 We hiked Hurricane Ridge today...what a beautiful sight.

One of the beautiful waterfalls

This is an Olympic Marmutt only found here.  They were all over the alpine meadow.



Olympic NP

 We have arrived in Olympic NP where we will spend three plus days.

 The rain forest is amazing.

Multiple waterfalls.....



Home again

We arrived home today to lots of growth in the garden.  These Mexican Bird of Paradise grew at least 4 feet the month of July.  We have had at least 2 to 3 inches of rain since we left and everything looked great.  We have a couple of weeks to catch up before the kayak trip to Oregon.
