Many Faces of Olympic National Park 22 July 2023

Kalaloch…the Beach.

Anemones in a tidal pool.

The Keyhole.

Hoh the Rainforest…Hall of Mosses.

A Nurse Log…growing the next generation.

A Nurse Log creates a Sitka Spruce Colonnade. All the trees seen are growing out of one Nurse Log.

The Mountains…Between 1982 and 2009 eighty-two glaciers disappeared from Olympic National Park. During the same time period the Blue Glacier on Mount Olympus, tallest peak in the park, retreated 382 feet. Scientists estimate, that at the current rate of retreat, all glaciers will disappear from Glacier National Park by 2070.

Madison Waterfall.

A tree growing out of a rock?

Peace…Wanderers in Wonder.
