Deer Lake Trail - Olympic National Park - Washington State - United States
Here are highlights of the Deer Lake Trail in Olympic National Park in Washington State. From the Sol Duc trailhead at the north side of the park, the trail climbs 1,640 feet in elevation as it follows the Sol Duc River and Canyon Creek. This trail has many wonderful waterfalls including the iconic, three prong Sol Duc Falls. After 3.4 miles one arrives at beautiful Deer Lake in a wooded basin in the transition zone from montane to subalpine forest. Deer lake is at an altitude of 3,522 feet.
For this backpacking trip I was joined by my brother, Bill O'Leary and his future spouse, Laura Covington.
The trip was enjoyable and truly memorable.

Bogachiel River - Olympic National Park, Washington State
360 degree view of the Bogachiel River in Olympic National Park. The Bogachiel River Trail runs 24.4 miles and follows the Boagchiel River from the trailhead to its terminus at the Mink Lake Trail junction. The trail cuts through the temperate Bogachiel Rainforest and is easily accessible just a few miles south of Forks, WA on the Olympic Peninsula. The Bogachiel Rainforest is a 'low maintenance priority' for the NPS and as a result, conditions can vary widely. There are multiple creek crossings, some of which can be very difficult or impossible to cross during high water. The trail is generally easy to moderate in good conditions, but can change at any time. The best season for the trail is May through September.

We spent a week exploring the Olympic Penninsula. Lodging destinations are the Pacific Inn Motel and the Lake Pleasant Beach house.

Exploring Washington State | Dungeness Spit
After our adventures in Hawaii, Wild and Growing took the time to visit family in Washington State. We visited the longest sand spit in the United States! It's home to a wildlife protected area and located on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. During our time here we saw lots of cool wild life including Mergansers, a bald eagle, crustaceans, a blue heron, a seal, and lots of birds!
The entire Dungeness Spit trail trail is 6 miles to the lighthouse on the end of the spit. We only ended up walking 3 miles out. The Dungeness Spit, continues to grow 13 feet each year, as the bluffs degrade.
Besides the amazing wildlife and massive piles of driftwood we came across, we also found large amount of kelp! Kelp creates an important habitat for many sea creatures but are threatened by sea urchins who eat the roots of kelp. Sea otters protect the kelp by eating the sea urchins, their favorite meal. Learn how you can protect sea otters here:
