Returning to Port Angeles for lunch, we headed west on 101 for Sol Duc Falls. Lake Crescent’s south shore made for “beautiful drive #3.” Turning off at the Sol Duc river, we were awed by the dense forest with giant cedars and firs. The moisture (an additional 30 inches of moisture is added by just condensation) creates a dense undergrowth that for that lush “rainforest” feel . The hike to the falls was gentle and fun under the canopy of firs. David gave the girls a lesson on counting tree rings on the giant cut logs, some as wide as Suzie is tall. The walk was cool, damp and green in the most wonderful of ways - a perfect contrast to this morning’s majestic mountain top views. Right by the falls I spotted several trillium in bloom…as white and delicate as the spray from the falls. Dinner in historic Port Townsend and a late ferry ride, brought us back to Anacortes.
Quote of the day: “It really isn’t t he bears on the trail you need to be worried about, but the serial killers in disguise. “ –David to the girls on the Sol Duc falls trail. He was so very helpful when, as he walked by the other hikers (all potential serial killers) he would use his fingers to rank them 0-10 as to the probability that they were actually a serial killer! We have laughed for days on that on…
