SEASTACKS ALONG THE NORTHWEST COAST OF THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA RAINFOREST

These are the seastacks in the Pacific along the Washington State's coast at the late June sunset. This area of the Olympic Rainforest is along old growth forest and a large Indian reservation.

The Olympic Peninsula has a unique ecosystem as a temperate rainforest, since the prevailing easterly winds carry the moist air from the Japan current up the slopes of Mount Olympus, to drop in abundance on the forest and on us, the hikers through the rainforest. Read about it in the treks described through Hurricane Ridge and the Hoh River Valley.
