Waterfall and Forest

We made our goodbyes to the waterfall with one last photo and drive on around to the other side of the lake.

Merriman Falls

Clearly, we are in a rainforest. Not only is there plenty of water from the stream, but the trees are of the sort that demand lots of water as well. Moss and lichens cover everything.

Lake Quinault

Since Ocean Shore is small and the beach is, well, a beach, we decided to spend one day driving to edge of the rainforest at Quinault. It, too, was a very small town consisting of a store (closed for the season) and a hotel and few houses. There is a road that goes around Quinault lake so we drove part of it to see what we could see.

As you can see, it is still winter and the trees are bare.
