The Hoh Rainforest gets an average of 140 inches of rain every year. That's more than 3 times as much as stereotypically rainy Seattle, only 100 miles away, gets. The Olympic Range catches all the moisture coming in off the Pacific and dumps it onto the westward slopes, generating the famous temperate rainforests, of which…Read more Washington With Bones – Part 3: Hoh Rainforest

Washington With Bones – Part 2C: Sol Duc and Rialto Beach
It had already been a long day by the time we navigated the windy road down off Hurricane Ridge and traveled, once again, along the south shore of Lake Crescent.

I had the blessed opportunity to take a week off from doom-scrolling and posting to the internet last week. We spent the time off grid, out of range of the mobile towers, exploring Olympic, Mt. Rainier, and North Cascades National Parks, and all the various State and National Forests that surround them (Olympic, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie,…Read more A Week In Washington With “Bones” – Campervan Adventures Across Three National Parks (Intro)
