Outdoor photography usually isn’t my thing, however I had a great time!! The pictures below are from The Hoh Rainforest, (one of three rainforests in WA) and also Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles. Its always great to have visitors here in the Pacific Northwest.  I hop you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Welcome to the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, one of the most visited forests in the country, located east of Seattle, Washington on the west side of the Cascades between the Canadian border and Mt. Rainier National Park. Here you will find glacier-covered peaks, spectacular mountain meadows and old-growth forests, rich in history and outdoor opportunities.  http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/mbs/home

Each time you visit, it is an entirely different display of natural beauty. There could be 20ft of snow, clouds so thick you cant see the road, or amazing views of the mountains for as far as the eye can see. The cost to get into the Olympic National Forest is a mere $15.00. This is a MUST see, MUST do, on your next visit to Seattle. Be safe though, there are black bears, elk, deer, grouse, pica, porcupine, and cougars, running wild.  Here is a link to the web site, for additional information.  http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-hurricane-ridge.htm

Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. In this forest lies the Big Four Ice Caves, a pretty awesome sight to see. There is a $5.00 charge for parking and about a 1 mile hike through the beautiful forest on a paved, gravel, and wood deck trail. From a distance the caves look so small, however once you venture toward them-they are HUGE!! It is highly recommended that you do not enter the caves. After checking out the first couple, we did decided to take our chances and go in. BAD IDEA!!! The ground is very unstable and scattered with debris, and there is no way of knowing how stable the actual cave above you really is. As we were leaving the area we came across a memorial for an 11 year old girl that lost her life last year. If we would have seen this prior to wondering into the cave, we definitely would not have gone in. Please check this one out with caution!!!! Just as beautiful from a distance.
