After Hurricane Ridge we returned to Port Townsend for an administrative day and then headed back into Olympic National Park. We'd done much of the Park in 2018, and on a later visit, and accordingly made quicker work of the rest of it on this trip, wanting to get to the coast and its scenery sooner than later. We spent the night of September 17th at the campground near the Hall of Mosses at Hoh.
