Spent 10 days up and down the west coast. Did a shit load of hiking. Drove the wife’s new Toyota Camry hybrid. Averaged 43mpg. Spent 1 night in Redding on the way up, 2 nights at Lake Quinalt Lodge. Hiked the temperate rainforest. Hiked the Hoh rainforest, multiple trails. Spent 4 nights at Lake Crescent, hiked all over that place. The water was ball shrinkin temp so I only went in up to my ankles. Cruises up and down the coast of Washington state, hiked Hurricane Ridge, went to Cape Flattery and hit the beaches on the way down. Skipped stopping in Oregon and spent 2 nights in Crescent City, CA. Did an awesome redwood tour. 1 night in San Luis Obispo. Drove 14.5 hours down highway 1 from crescent to San Luis.. then 5.5 hours from San Luis to home.

Lake Quinalt.

Hoh rainforest. It’s just super dense with vegetation and lots of moss hanging from and covering the trees. Sitka spruce, Doug fir and hemlocks?

Lake crescent and the cabins we rented. My wife’s brother and his family brought their trailer/camper and stayed down by the lake.

Beautiful pics. Looks like a hunting and fishing paradise out there once you get away from the blue cities.

I've always thought Western Washington is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I think everyone should experience it. And if possible, move there from here. Sorry @DHR Darren

On the way to a hiking trail. I walked a little over a mile from the lodge to trail entrance.

Next year is a good plan. The bears woke up grumpy this year and have been chewing on humans.

More Hoh pics, there’s a storm shelter/cabin. Pretty cool. It was full of red dot Indians that smell like asshole and curry so I didn’t get a close up pic..

Forks, cool little town. Visited the logger museum and another visitor center. Ate at a longhouse/native restaurant. Had some halibut and fries. I’m not a chick, so I didn’t take a pic of my food.
