Our First Visit to Olympic National Park Was Amazing!

Actual ONP hike starts at 2:28. For your first hike in ONP, you started with one of the best trails in the entire park. You've got nowhere to go but down from there. (Both figuratively and literally.) You are right that there is nothing but conifers and evergreens at that elevation, but trust me, there are plenty of deciduous, broad leaf trees at lower elevations in ONP.

Glad you enjoyed the Olympic's! My stomping grounds for the last 50 years. Nearly all Sasquatch encounters have been along the lower elevations on the north, west , and south side of the range. Come back for more adventures.

I was out at Lake Quinalt hiking in March. I stayed at the Lodge, with a big fireplace in the common room. Very nice.
