After getting groceries and doing some laundry, we headed to the Olympic National Park. We choose the area that is the Rainforest part of the National park. We throught this to be a very pretty area with trees and moss all around.
This area is called the Hoh Rainforest because the Hoh river runs through the park.

These trees grew from what they call "Nursery Trees". When a tree falls over, tree sprouts out of the tree. The strongest grow into big trees. These three trees grew from the same nursery tree. There were many of these in the park.
Long tree trunks!
We hiked a little ways down this trail. About a mile up the trail, we could hear Elk bugle to each other from two sides of the river. There were pretty close but we never did see them.
The ferns really grow big in a rain forest.

We enjoyed our afternoon in this national park.
On the way out of the park, we saw two black tail deer beside the road.
