We drove toward our next stop Olympic National Park waving to Seattle as we went by. We stayed at a KOA instead of in the park, sometimes you need to hook up and run 6 loads of laundry before heading back out to “rough it” again. Our site had an amazing Mountain View and we enjoyed as much time on our patio as possible.
Olympic is a huge park with multiple diverse areas. We decided to do the park in stages. First was the north east rain shadow area. This included the Olympic Visitor Center as well as the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center. Both had some interesting information mostly on the plants and animals, although we hoped for more history of the park and people. Maybe the next visitor center.
We took a couple walks around the area. There was still quite a bit of snow in some areas and our Ridge Trail hike was more of a hunt for the correct path under the snow. The adventure made it even more fun and we even got to slide down a small hill. The views were amazing in all areas even though it was a bit chilly.
On our drive back down the road we spotted a black bear enjoying the meadow. We enjoyed one more dinner with Mountain View’s and some time around the fire.
