Olympic Loop - Part 1 of 5 (Quinault & Kalaloch)


We are just back from a great week of exploring Olympic National Park. We started along the Washington Coast and looped around Highway 101 in order to taken in all that the park has to offer - beautiful lakes, dense rain forests, wild coastline and snow-capped mountains.

We squeezed a lot into 7 days - including lots of great hikes and a day-trip to Victoria, BC, so the kids could use their passports. We're going to post photos from the trip in sections since we have so many to share.

Click here for a photo album of the first two days of our trip, which included visits to Lake Quinault; the Quinault Rainforest; the Hoh Rainforest and its amazing Hall of Mosses; and the beaches of Kalaloch (pronouced Clay-Lock).

The photo above is of Kalaloch's Beach 2. Each beach was unique and amazing in its own way, but our favorite of the day was Ruby Beach.

Days 3-7 coming soon...
