Visiting Olympic National Park During a Pandemic

On one sunny March day, I decided to do a one day drive marathon around the Olympic Peninsula, visiting Olympic National Park. I visited Madison Creek Falls, along the Elwha River, the Hoh River, and the section of Highway 101 where the road meets the beaches.  It was a long day, but oh, so worth it!

The Hoh Rainforest, featuring the Hall of Mosses Trail and the Spruce Nature Trail offer 2 1/2 miles of easy walking under the forest canopy.  It's beautiful and lush.






And finally, a stop at Olympic Beaches.  First Stop was Ruby Beach, then Kalaloch, then Beach Number 1.






 And of course, I had to take a few additonal pictures along the way:
