used to go there when and hang out.
gotta prop that place!!
This is the most gorgeous place I have ever seen in my entire life. It is amazing here and if you haven't been then GO. It isn't like any other forest you will see. We like to camp at kalaloch or the hoh and visit ruby beach. It is awesome for hiking and day trips too and there are some cool local stores that sell authentic Twilight and Forks gear.
Beautiful place. We didn't have much time to explore, probably need a full week to see everything that there is to see.
We stayed at the Lake Crescent inn/lodge which provided beautiful views of the lake and a convenient location to explore from.
I grew up backpacking with my family during the summers up through the rainforest, up the Ho River and to the glaciers. This is beautiful country. So odd to have a rainforest almost in Canada -- but hey, there you go. It's a little bit like being able to grow tobacco outside of Toronto. Bodies of water like the great lakes and Puget Sound warm things up even in the oddest of places. We saw oodles of black bear at quite close range as kids. And we fished in the streams -- salmon I believe and fresh water trout. We also ate tons of wild blackberries ... blackberry and bear country. Stunning.
