Olympic National Park

An early morning start with showers and coffee before anyone else was awake. We headed towards Hoh Rainforest, about an hour’s drive from the campground, at 7am.

Once there, we made our porridge and then set out on 2 trails, The Hall of Mosses and The Spruce Trail. These wound their way through the rainforest with lots of interesting plants and a few animals.

After another hour’s drive we reached Sol Duc and stopped at the Salmon leap. We saw 1 trout trying to leap up the falls.

Continuing along the road, we stopped at the Sol Duc falls and walked along the trail, with everyone else!

On our way back we stopped in Forks and saw some ‘interesting’ Twilight’ collections. By now it was really hot, over 90°, so reading that this is the wettest place in the US doesn’t really fit with what we are experiencing 🥵. No complaints though.

When we got back to the campground we had a late lunch from the cafe and then mooched around camp.Read more
