The recent snow is still quite visible, but quite pretty in the sun
The colors were very bright, but for such a brief moment that I almost didn't get them at all.
The Olympic Mountains only go up to about 4k or 5k feet, but are very steep and rugged.
This is a rocky beach, but is a favorite spot for rock hounds due to the agates and other, very colorful stones.
This is looking south from the point. Very rugged and beautiful.
This was probably too far away to get a good shot, but I tried. It was way across the Straight of San Juan de Fuca on Vancouver Island. I was at Cape Flattery.
This is not normal for the WA coast this late in March. I liked the low clouds surrounding the peak.
This is on the Washington Coast about midway up the Olympic Penninsula. Ruby Beach is probably the most scenic beach I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of beaches, especially on this trip)
This is the trail down to Ruby Beach. You can't really get a good view of the beach unless you hike down.
Kalaloch is on the Olympic Loop Highway (Hwy 101) on the west coast of the Olympic Penninsula
Just thought this was a pretty scene
There is only a light dusting of snow on the ground, but it is an interesting contrast with the spring blooms on the tree.
These rooks are a rookery for several different sea birds. Teddy Roosevelt set them aside as a wildlife refuge.
The weather wouldn't let up, but I thought it made the scenery even more spectacular.
There are 150 dairy farms in the Tillamook Creamery Cooperative, so lots in this area.
Western Oregon Coast receives quite a bit of rainfall and has a fairly temporate climate, making for lovely green pastures and lots of trees.
This is the beach below the Thomas Creek Bridge, not very accessable without a long, steep hike.
We pulled over at an overlook for 'Spruce Island'. I think the sign was referring to another rock with some tree's on it, but I liked this one better.
I had to hike out quite a ways to try to get a shot of the Thomas Creek Bridge, so also took advantage of other coastline shots. There is a coastal trail you can hike along here, not for the faint of heart.
Oregon has more coastal rocks and haystacks then CA or WA coastlines (I think)
Fog isn't always bad for picture taking! We thought this sight was lovely enough, I pulled off the road to get this shot.
This was at the state park where we stayed the night.
