Hoh...What did you call me...Rainforest

August_18_2012

Two and a half hours from PA, we left early Saturday to get a campsite at the Olympic NP Hoh Rainforest.  We have learned in our multiple weekend trips, that it is almost impossible to find a campsite on a Friday night, but if you go early on Saturday there are always sites open.  Who would have thought that it was going to be a forest with rain.  It was a very light rain so we still able to get some hiking in. We have learned that here in Washington it gets the same amount of precipitation in our hometown, but rather it is just a constant all the time drizzly, misty rain, more true in the NP.  The Hoh offered great hikes.  We did a portion of the Hoh River Trail, it passes through lush rainforest and dense vegetation.  We did multiple small hike, Hall of Mosses and Spruce Nature Trail.

On Sunday we went a little further south and was able to get out of the rain and enjoy a day on the Washington coast in the town of Kalaloch.  Here we had a lunch picnic and enjoyed walking along the beach (Beach 1, Beach 2, Beach 3, Beach 4).
