Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
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.
Blue Footed Boobie checkin’ out his own cool blue feet!
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)
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.
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.
This is the tunnel that leads you from the storm king parking lot to the trails for both storm king and Marymere Falls. Storm king is a 4+ rated trail to the top of the mountain -but with FANTASTIC views on a clear day. The 1.5 mile trail to the falls is easy and flat. ALTHOUGH to see the whole falls you must climb up a steep 1/4 mile with switchbacks and big steps.
This fortress in the Rocks District of Sydney was used to help protect the bay as far back as the 19th century.
