Ho Rain Forest - Olympic National park
Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 11:04PM The only park where we have seen
a. snow covered forests
b. green rain forests
c. beaches
d. meadows
e. snow capped mountains
f. hurricane ridges
g. rivers
h. streams
i. Lakes
j. hot springs
etc. etc. (we have not fully gone on all roads within the park by van, so there is no talk of things not seen by foot)
is Olympic National park. Truly beautiful.
On our last trip the able adults who had any strength left (or were desperate to take photos) went on a trail into the Ho rain forest to see the Moses trees. The entire area of trees is covered in a thick green Moss and reminds you of Jurassic Park. The ferns growing everywhere give you the added effect of being in a primordial place. Truly scary and awe inspiring at the same time.
Here are five of my photographs from the Ho rainforest (taken about three weeks ago.. It feels like three months ago already!).
Talking of going by foot vs. going by car/van or caravan, there will be a post tomorrow on the public transportation system in the US of A!

also needed to add - great photos; they remind me of rural karnataka (might not have the same attractions and/or marketing, but the scenery is just as good). also a trip about three weeks ago that feels three months ago ...
