In
the morning, we hiked 1 mile up to the Sol Duc Waterfalls (30 ft.
waterfall). Then we stopped at Salmon Cascade and were fortunate to see
several salmon trying to jump upstream over falls. Then we headed for
Forks, Washington (known for the Twilight series), better yet we are staying at the Dew
Drop Inn in the Belle Suite (decorated for Twilight fanatics).
Forks really embraces this Twilight connection with a Twilight Tour, as well as
their radio station is called “Twilight”. We ate a quick lunch/ice cream cone
and then headed out to Hoh River within the Olympic National Park. This
is the rain forest area of the park, toured the Moss Trail (.8) which covered
information about the trees and hanging moss. The trees were Douglas Fir
(photo op at the largest Douglas Fir in North American – 550 years old and 300
ft. tall) and the Sitka Spruce. Then we took the Spruce Tail (1.2 miles)
that took us to the Hoh River. Tonight we are heading to the ocean to see
a fabulous sunset and the Sea Stacks at Rialto Beach.
