Today we drove to Hoh rain forest in Olympic National Park and to Ruby Beach. Woke up to blue skies – the first time in many, many days. The rain forest was interesting. We planned to do a mile hike on a trail, but once we got started, it was not level (like we had read) and it was wet and slippery from the rain yesterday, so we turned back. Then we drove to Ruby Beach, which you were supposed to be able to drive steps away from the beach. Well, we did drive steps away from the edge of a cliff with about 250 steps down to the beach – no rails and I was afraid to try it make it down. The fog rolled in as we got closer to the water. It is a very eerie sight. Tomorrow we leave for Oregon, ultimately Crater Lake. A few more pictures.
