We had an amazing time in Washington and Canada. We drove nearly 900 miles! We hiked trails, mountains

and a rainforest! Although it was hard to capture the sheer size and beauty of this area, this photo book is our

reminder of our journey through this majestic wonderland.

We won’t soon forget the sight, sound or smell of the Hoh Rainforest. Or the sound of the Pacific ocean

crashing against the cliffs at Cape Flattery. Or the roaring sound of one of the many waterfalls that we hiked

to. We saw gray whales, humpback whales, deer, elk, birds and chipmunks! We drove to Mt. Rainier and

hiked to 6000 feet and it snowed! We stood high upon the mountains of the Olympic National Park and heard

nothing but the sound of nature and the wind through the trees.

We also have an answer to that age old question...Would you hear a tree if it fell in the forest? YES! We heard

one crack and fall at the base of Mt. Rainier and we were so glad that it sounded far off in the distance!

The memories will never be far away for either one of us. It was an amazing journey through the Pacific

Northwest.
