Here's another bonus day with two pictures for the price of one! We picked up camp and moved near Sequim (pronounce "squeem") and spent the afternoon hiking up to Sol Duc Falls - about 0.8 miles. Here's a view looking down river toward the foot bridge. Another rainy day on and off, which made for perfect lighting conditions - but necessitated using the tripod. Exposures were running up to a couple seconds.
What a delightful trail - one of the finest I've ever taken! It's relatively flat with gradual up and down sections. It reminded me a lot of some of the rainforest trails in Hawaii. The scent of cedar and spruce was in the air and the temperature was a comfortable 68 degrees. The tall trees were similar in size to the redwoods in northern California. The rain was more of a mist in your face, rather than a downpour and I used the old shower cap trick to keep the camera dry.
The lower photo shows Sheila hiking back to the trailhead and is pretty typical of the trail conditions.
