Week 8: A weekend trip to the outer coast!
|
Since we were limted to exploring the coast at low tide and we had come so far, we spent some time this weekend exploring the amazing terrestrial habitats of the Olympic Peninsula.

Our Hurricane Ridge hike was a bit snowier than we had planned for...

We turned back after a short walk, but got the chance to play in the snow in May...

We made a quick stop at Lake Crescent, a unique oligotrophic lake.

After a good night's sleep at the Olympic Natural Resources Center, we got an early start to Rialto Beach...

...and started our long walk to Hole in the Wall.

The point in the distance was our goal.

We got to the hole and went further north.

Our outer coast trip would not be complete without some wild weather.
