3 Days in the Olympic National Park

David

Last week provided a short period of relief from the normally rainy January weather in the Puget Sound … so it was time for a road trip to the Olympic National Park. The government shutdown hampered repairs to washed out roads to many parts of the park so I focused most of the time along the coast.

  1. I really like the “mystical carpet” image and description. Nicely done. What waterfall(s) are pictured?

    1. Thank-you. The waterfall is the Merriman Falls which is just past Lake Quinault towards the Olympic National Park.

      1. Never heard of it until the above exchange. Ended up there around noon the other day and had a delightful picnic sitting next to the falls. Thanks for enabling that.
