Quilcene

Dean, Diane, Connie and I left Chimacum and headed south to Quilcene, Washington. If I had a license I could dig clams and hunt for oysters, Hood Canal Oysters are some of the best. We stopped at the headquarters for the East Olympic National Forest to get maps to the places I wanted to see.
Falls view Canyon Trail challenged us to walk about .1 of a mile of flat trail to get the shot you see above. Somehow we managed.



Farther south on 101 we took a steep narrow road that wound around Mt. Walker climbing 2.000 feet. From the view points at the top we were treated to views of the entire Puget Sound and Hood Canal. On a cold clear day you would be able to see Mt. Baker, The Olympic Range, downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainer. We could see it but not very well.
Lunch was the best yet on this trip; The Olympic Timber House Restaurant is five star for food and ambiance. Log Construction and rock walls sent us back in time to the days of lumberjacks and Miners. We came home tired from all that hiking but our tummies were full and happy.
