Olympic National Park: Sol Duc

From Hurricane Ridge we drove on, around the Strait and down into the peninsula, to the Sol Duc area, a hot springs and rain forest central. There we spent a couple days and nights, resting and then doing the hike to Sol Duc Falls.
Camping among the big trees; mostly Douglas Fir and Sitka Spruce

Trail to Sol Duc Falls

Angel Wings fungi



Angels with dirty faces?

A nice morel pokes through; well, I think it was a morel; maybe I should stick
to Safeway's produce selections...

Rain forest


We poked all around the Park and peninsula and rain forest for a week and never
saw a drop of rain...

Sol Duc River

In a day or two, we'd be visiting Forks, WA, ground zero for Mormon Vampirism;
here, Vicki is reviewing Twilight or one of its sequels

Back on the trail; note interesting change in spelling...



Dry creek

Cleft downstream from the falls

Sole Duck Falls

Certainly among the top 1,000 we've seen recently

More scary mushrooms
