Olympic National Park, WA

We are camping in Mount Vernon, WA and today we drove over to Olympic National Park. We took the Townsend ferry over. It was a lovely day but a lot of driving for one day. We took our two dogs with us not feeling comfortable leaving them that long.






















I had 2 eagle sightings today.

Picture of Mount Baker taken from the Townsend ferry.

Taken from the ferry, but I'm not sure which mountain it is. It looks like it erupts out of thin air.

Taken from Hurricane Ridge viewpoint.

These mountains made me feel like at any moment Julie Andrews would be running through the fields singing "The hills are alive...with the sound of music.


It's like he was posing.

Bailey says, all this touring is over rated I just want to go home and have a lie down.

That's all for now folks have a nice evening and stay tuned.

The day before we went on a rather difficult hike.  It started out really easy and about 1/ 8 of the way in it really started to climb and a lot of the time we were crawling over rocks and limbs.  We finally arrived at a bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean. Not sure it was actually worth the climb but we did get our exercise for the day.

Pretty view but the path looks so easy when we started and by the time we finished we were all scratched up and sore and just plain tired...... and maybe a little grumpy too.

Everyday is an adventure some a little more worth remembering than others.
