2006-07-30 Olympic National Park, WA 08

Olympic NP- North Fork - It's a rainy and overcast morning. We are definitely in the rain forest, lots of mosses and ferns. This area gets over 145 inches of rain per year. In comparison, Seattle only gets 34 inches of rain per year! We first entered Olympic National Park and went to the North Fork Ranger Station and did a couple of short hikes there in the rain. One hike was thru an old homestead for the late 1800's describing the difficulties of settling and homesteading in the dense vegetation of the rain forest.
