I love walking thru the forest when light is peaking thru. When it highlights a bush or a little tree. It’s forest bathing at its best.
This is on the trail to Marymere Falls.

La Poel
This is a tiny campground that has been closed on Lake Crescent. But you can still park at the entrance and walk down to the wonderful stream that pours into the lake.
Beautiful sunrise at Lake Crescent.
Magnificent Oak
At the end of Lake Crescent (Fairholm) is a grove of these VERY OLD magnificent oak trees. They are all covered in moss but do leaf out every spring. We were there a little early for the leaves. But his tree is glorious in all the seasons.
Lake Crescent Sea Monster
This is a log that sticks up near the shore at Lake Crescent. All my friend and I thought it looked like a big fish swimming by. (I added the fish eye for effect)
Madison Falls
This is one of the falls on the Olympic Waterfall Trail. It is a very short 1/4 mile fairly even walk to the viewpoint. I just LOVED this wild curved log that apparently has been at the bottom for almost a year now.
Marymere Falls
This is only the very bottom of the falls going into the stream. I forgot how little of the falls you can see from the bottom. Since I tore my knee out, just the walk to the falls was all she wrote. So I took a picture of the trailing end. You’ll just have to go see it for yourself! It’s very impressive-especially during the spring run off.
