Alpine and Anemones

We stopped for a few days at Salt Creek Recreation Area near Port Angeles, WA. There were amazing tide pools that I had an awesome time exploring. I found anemones, huge mussels, and giant pieces of kelp. We saw many deer grazing in the campground, as well as some ferocious raccoons looking for food in our campsite.

One day we drove up into the Olympic Mountains to Hurricane Ridge. Even though we were only at about 5000 feet elevation, it looked like we were much higher. There were stunted trees and alpine meadows that normally are at much higher elevations. From Hurricane Ridge, we could see deep valleys and huge mountains with glaciers on top.
