Monday, June 29. The need to do laundry delayed our arrival at the Hoh Rain Forest until slightly after noon. The persistent lesson for this trip continues to be: Make plans, but your enjoyment depends on your willingness to appreciate what comes your way. Too many natures programs on rain forests and online photos of the Hoh created a more Amazon Rain Forest expectation. However, I was aware of the current abnormal diminished rainfall. The height and density of the trees, the thick ferns and the overall beauty remain.
Notice Helen at the base of the tree. Average tree height: 220 ft. As tall as 300 ft.
Ferns are everywhere.
Too many people keep the critters in hiding.
