Kalaloch Beach, Ruby Beach, Hoh Rainforest, La Push and Rialto Beach, Washington State, USA. 1st and 2nd November 2018. (Trip summary and links to posts).

Equivalent colour posts with more images and more information are Quinault to La Push and Rialto Beach and La Push.

We are travelling north in Washington State, having left Quinault Ranforest, touching the coast and briefly visiting Hoh Rainforest, on the way to La Push and Rialto Beach.

These images are duotones which means different colours are assigned to highlights and shadows.  All here have blue highlights and red shadows, but there is some adjustment for each image.  An image with more shadows can also look quite different to an image with more highlights.

Tree patterns and hanging moss.

We are now in the Hoh Rainforest.  Also for the following five images.

Maybe this looks like a wall.  We are looking down on a creek and a fallen tree.

We are now in La Push, where I was staying.  Just outside my cabin, looking out to the sea.

The small La Push marina.  Mainly fishing boats, I think.

First Beach, La Push, and gulls taking off as I walk to close to them. James Island in the background.

Dickery River, a tributary to Quillayute River.  Near the end of a 20-minute drive to Rialto Beach, since there is no direct bridge from La Push.

Rialto Beach, near the heads.

The same two people and a little of the wood on the beach.

.

.

.

.

There is really quite a lot of wood washed up.  Probably enough to make a camp fire.

.

.

.

.

And the weather is a touch challenging too.

Back in La Push, looking across the mouth of the Quillayute River towards an island between Little James Island and James Island (Very Little James Island?).

A sea stack near James Island. .

Looking across the mouth of the Quillayute River again  Cake Rock in the distance, about four kilometres away.

(I could see a face in that rock.  Then I could see another and the first one was gone.  Now I can see yet another.  Maybe there are lots of faces.  The best I can see has a headband and a long beard.  Pareidolia anyone?)
