We pass through Aberdeen, full of intriguing stories. We stop at a local coffee shop that sells art from local artists. For people interested in Seattle music history or the band Nirvana, we may can stop at the under the bridge memorial and childhood home for Kurt Cobain.

We enter the Quinault Rainforest and take a short hike amongst ancient trees, giant ferns, and other plants. The fresh air and surroundings of this temperate rainforest is a thrilling experience for a first time visitors and long time hikers. We take a rest stop at the Quinault Resort Lodge, which is where President Franklin D. Roosevelt stayed when he established Olympic National Park. The lodge has a perfect view of Lake Quinault.

We take walk along the gorgeous Ruby Beach. You will see large haystack rock formations and many logs strewn about the beach. This is raw and unique beach surprises many visitors. One awe struck visitor remarked, "I've been to a lot of beaches, but I've never been to one that looked and felt like this."

We walk through the famous "Hall of Mosses" in the Hoh Rainforest. The moss grows heavy among this large grove of maple trees. We will also see giant ferns and may see mushrooms and elk. *Please note from late June to early August, we may not be able to access the Hoh Rainforest since the wait times to enter are over 2 hours.

We stop for lunch in the historic town of Forks. Forks was featured in the Twilight vampire book and movies series. Lunch options include: A burger cafe, a BBQ spot, and Mexican spot.

We stop at the Lake Crescent lodge located right on Lake Crescent to get a few more good photos. This deep lake has some chilling stories we may share.

Fun Ferry Boat Ride across Puget Sound with great views of Seattle.
