Dark, Wet, Green – Washington’s Olympic Peninsula

Here are some views from a trip to Washington’s Olympic National Park – to the western-most edge of the US. This peninsula, much of it rain forest,  gets 12 feet of rain each year. So we were not surprised to find it dark, wet, and very green. The dense wilderness, and several indian reservations scattered within it, make this a really interesting area. Cape Flattery, in the photo below, is the western-most point in the mainland United States. It is part of  the Makah Reservation.
