As you are hiking up the trail, you will see these groupings of trees and bushes on the hill side. They looked like little floating ponds to me!

The path to Hurricane Ridge is paved a large part of the way. Hats off to the Park staff who made this happen. We saw a number of wheel chairs on the path. It is steep though. We didn't make it to the top. However, if we ever meet I will lie and say we did!

This is a shot from the first pick pull off as you are coming up the hill to the Ridge. Remember, pass it by, catch it on the way back. There is a small thin line across the water, that's Victoria, Canada

I don't think I captured how interesting this tree stump is, but it's right at the start of the short trail to the falls.

Madison Falls. Nice falls and so close to get to, so that makes it worth it to visit.

Most of the access to the Elwha Valley is closed. There is a gate blocking the road just past the Falls Parking lot.

This is not to be missed if you are in Sol Duc, it's a short walk from the park to a viewing stand and you can watch the salmon, swim upstream. At this point the salmon really are Olympic atheletes.

We had reserved the 2:45PM ferry, but got there early. They let us on the 1:15PM trip, but as you can see there were only two cars after us!

At the end of Deception Pass SP is a great day use area. If you look real close can see a bridge in the middle of the picture that we will drive over tomorrow, hence the name Deception Pass.

Tons of room and seating on the ferries and on each side there was a puzzle on one of the tables, so you could sit and work on a puzzle as you crossed the Puget Sound

Docked at Ft. Casey. As you get off the ferry you can go to the left and there is a nice camping area. If you go to the right there is a marina where this shot was taken.

Cranberry Lake in the Park. One thing about Washington, there is so much water! Lakes, Sounds, Straits. I never know what I'm looking at as far as naming the bodies of water LOL.

The main street is about 2 or 3 blocks long with historic buildings. I believe it was a fishing culture of maybe logging? Anyone know?

Walkway along the channel. Several restaurants, wine bars and gift shops along this path. John Wayne's first yacht , the Norwester, was in La Connor in 2016, but then I saw a story that it ran aground in the San Juans.
