I rented a campervan out of Seattle and set off on a quest for Forests, Falls and Rocky Coasts.
I visited briefly during a cross-country trip in ‘97. This time I was back for a little deeper dive.
My Highlights:
Quinault Big Spruce Tree
Kalaloch cedar
The Tree of Life
Ruby Beach Sunset
Some Trees of the Hoh
Rialto Rocks and Sunset
Cape Flattery
Hurricane Ridge sunset and moonrise
Kayaking Freshwater Bay
Sole Duc Falls (complete with Tourons)
Marymere Falls
The rental van had some challenges from the start. Once I got to Heart of the Hills, it went downhill quickly (no pun intended). A dead coach battery…no water, no lights, no propane…ended my trip a day early…as I type after returning the van, I am grateful for all I saw, but sad I missed Storm King…(I would be at the rope section right about now…instead I sit a the SeaTac Doubletree a day early waiting for my room to open up)
Grateful for what I experienced…wishing I had more time.
