Trip to Crescent Lake

On Sunday, June 24th, we decided to drive north to Lake Crescent. The clouds didn't look as bad that direction. However, by the time we got there, it was raining. Since we didn't want to get the cameras wet, just took pictures from the rolled down windows. But, we did enjoy the drive.
By the time we had driven back down to Ruby's Beach, the sun was out so we were able to stop and hike down to the beach for a time. This is really a beautiful spot and one we will miss when we move to Utah.

We walked a ways down the beach since it was so nice at this time. We enjoyed our stay even though we couldn't stay as long as we would have liked since we had to leave Rocky in the car. But we enjoyed the sun while it lasted.


Eileen took this photo to show the awesome power of the ocean. The rocks embedded in the root system was really something to see. Also, the tree had been tosssed by the waves high up onto the beach.



By the time we got down to Lake Quinault it was raining again but we saw this rainbow going into the lake. It really was an incredible site.

That last shot is spectacular! Why didn't you take Rocky down with you?

Pets aren't allowed in National Parks is our understanding. Although we did see some other people with a dog down there.
