Olympic National Park, Washington

During a little break between Christmas and New Years, we headed South into Washington State and explored the Olympic Peninsula. Olympic National Park covers different eco systems from coastline to temperate rainforest and glaciated mountains.
Hoh Rain Forest is one of the largest temperate rain forests in the US and it is just spectacular. The large old trees are covered in mosses and lichens that give the forest a nice vibrant green colour.
