Pacific Northwest Rain Forest - Movie 7 Part 1 June 6, 2009
West Coast Canada Temperate Rain Forest, Part 1 -
Introduction to a Rain Forest Series covering western Canada and United States. Sometimes known as the Pacific Northwest this area includes Alaska, British Columbia (Canada), Washington State, Oregon and Northern California. There are stands of deciduous hardwood - alder, oak, maple and others; albeit they are increasingly difficult to find. The major forest cover, however, are the evergreen, softwood forest species including Balsam (a fir), Western Red Cedar, Yellow Cedar, Fir, Hemlock, Pine, Spruce and others. These 'old growth', often up to 1,200 year old, forests have been under sever attack by clear-cut logging operations over the years and few intact ecosystems remain. Subsequent tree planting has largely been mono-culture (one species) forests and, at that, replanting was had not been a regular part of regular forestry practices until the latter half of the 1900s.

Heavily forested the pretty location is convenient to the remote western side of Olympic National Park. Sites are very large and can accommodate most any size RV. Located on gravel roads with dirt pads. Picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets provided..
The limiting factor of this campground is the long road leading down from the pavement. Signage on the highway states “.5 mile” but the actual distance is much further.

Take a look at my collection of quartz crystals I picked up after day of rockhounding near Hansen Creek, Washington. Collecting rocks and amateur prospecting is a great hobby and learning experience for all ages. If you live in Washington State or are visiting the area, you can learn more about Hansen Creek online. Here's one site with a map and detail:
Also, I suggest checking with the Washington State Mineral Council and be aware of the Rockhounding Code of Ethics as a way of protecting our heritage of natural resources.
Olympic National Park Washing ton State Beach Hike Day Two
Beach Hike From Rialto past Cape Johnson Olympic National Park Washington State
Olympic National Park is located in the U.S. state of Washington, in the Olympic Peninsula. The park can be divided into three basic regions: the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains, and the temperate rainforest. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt originally created Olympic National Monument in 1909 and after Congress voted to authorize a redesignation to National Park status, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the legislation in 1938. In 1976, Olympic National Park became an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 it was designated a World Heritage Site. In 1988, almost all of the Olympic Peninsula was designated as the Olympic Wilderness, further enhancing the protection of the region.
The coastal portion of the park is a rugged, sandy beach along with a strip of adjacent forest. It is 73 miles (117 km) long but just a few miles wide, with native communities at the mouths of two rivers. The Hoh River has the Hoh people and at the town of La Push at the mouth of the Quileute River live the Quileute. [1]
The beach has unbroken stretches of wilderness ranging from 10 to 20 miles (16 km to 32 km). While some beaches are primarily sand, others are covered with heavy rock and very large boulders. Bushy overgrowth, slippery footing, tides and misty rain forest weather all hinder foot travel. (Times to hike should typically be doubled.) The coastal strip is more readily accessible than the interior of the Olympics; due to the difficult terrain, very few backpackers venture beyond casual day-hiking distances.

The most popular piece of the coastal strip is the 9-mile (14 km) Ozette Loop. The Park Service runs a registration and reservation program to control usage levels of this area. From the trailhead at Lake Ozette, a 3-mile (4.8 km) leg of the trail is a boardwalk-enhanced path through near primal coastal cedar swamp. Arriving at the ocean, it is a 3-mile walk supplemented by headland trails for high tides. This area has traditionally been favored by the Makah from Neah Bay. The third 3-mile leg is enabled by a boardwalk which has enhanced the loop's popularity.
There are thick groves of trees adjacent to the sand, which results in chunks of timber from fallen trees on the beach. The mostly unaltered Hoh River, toward the south end of the park, discharges large amounts of naturally eroded timber and other drift, which moves north, enriching the beaches. The removal of driftwood - logs, dead-heads, tops and root-wads from streams and beaches was a major domestication measure across North America. Even today driftwood deposits form a commanding presence, biologically as well as visually, giving a taste of the original condition of the beach viewable to some extent in early photos. Drift-material often comes from a considerable distance; the Columbia River formerly contributed huge amounts to the Northwest Pacific coasts.
The smaller coastal portion of the park is separated from the larger, inland portion. President Franklin D. Roosevelt originally had supported connecting them with a continuous strip of park land.
La Push is a small unincorporated community in Clallam County, Washington, United States. It is home to the Quileute Native American tribe and is located along the Quileute River. La Push is known for its surfing and whale-watching, as well as natural beauty. One of the main attractions of La Push is the Ocean Park Resort along James Beach.[citation needed] It is also a tourist attraction for many fans of the book series Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, as a large part of the series is located in La Push.
The name La Push is an infusion of the French la bouche, meaning mouth, into Chinook Jargon. It describes the town's location at the mouth of the river.[1]
La Push is home to the westernmost ZIP Code in the Contiguous United States, 98350.
