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.

Skittish…who us?
These harbor seals that hang out around protection island are really skittish if on land. Anything makes them dive toward the water. However, once in the water they follow you around like little curious puppies.
Last of the fall foliage
This same area was covered in frost this week. This is the Sol Duc river just north of the falls.
The jump of its life…
This salmon is climbing the ladder of rapids at the Solduc river. I could have sat there all day watching this determined group.
SolDuc Falls
This is a BEAUTIFUL spot to hike with several loops of different lengths. Most with good boardwalks or paths. It a little over an hours drive from Sequim. If you stay at the lodge there you can g in the thermal pools. I’ve never been but it looked mighty inviting after our hikes.
Beautiful fall color is here
This was taken just north of the Solduc falls. The fall color really adds to the fairytale ambience.
The salmon run (flight)
When a friend and I went to Solduc falls, we saw quite a line up pulled over at the rive so we stopped to see what was the commotion. The salmon were running heavily and it was so fun to watch them launch themselves up the little falls.
