Lake Ozette
After I die, I want my ashes spread into the river from the bridge that goes from the campground to the Olympic Hot Springs. The Hot Springs are my Nirvana.
Olympic Hot Springs. While the hot springs themselves may not be what they used to be – the hike there is all of that and more. Especially during the winter when you may happen upon snow on the trail. My first real hike in the Olympics and certainly a must see.
Explore the rain forests during a winter snow…The Hoh Hall of Mosses Trail is spectacular and you are almost assured of never running into anyone.
Mildred lakes is gorgeous
Now that we live here, this list is a must do. We have already crossed off a bunch of todos from this list in just 5 years. Just have to get out more. Thanks for sharing!
Port Ludlow? Really?
Yeah, plenty of tourists from all over the world go to it. Catching it as the Orca Pods come by, while rare, is an amazing experience. Plus, people see beauty everywhere and like little port villages. Are you not a fan?
