Washington State trip 2017, Ediz Hook is a 3 mile natural spit in  Port Angeles and the Straights of  Juan De Fuca. It is a popular area for birding and the scenery is beautiful too.

On this post I am sharing some images from our walk on the Tommy Thompson Trail in Anacortes Washington. The trail follows the waterfront and is about 3.3 miles. We only did a small section and we saw a few ducks nearby. It was a dreary moody sky day so the photos are not as beautiful as I would like. But, I wanted to record our walk and visit to this area.

Washington State trip May, 2017. I like to keep track of the little parks we visit during our travels. Just a few miles from the entrance to Mount Rainier Nat'l Park is the Ashford County Park, we enjoyed a walk on a the trail called the Kent Mundell Memorial Trail, It was not far from our B&B Mountain Meadows Inn in Ashford Washington.


Ashford County park located right on SR 706 in Ashford Washington.



A nice playground for the kiddies.



A memorial for Deputy Mundell who was killed in the line of duty. The trail is named after the Deputy Mundell.




A view from the parking area.


The Mundell Trail is only 1.2 miles.



Can you find the Robin along with some plants and moss growing off the trail.


Another section of the Mundell Trail.

From our May 2017 trip to Washington state, hubby and I hiked on the Rosario Head Trail at the Deception Pass State Park not far from Anacortes Washington. These are some images, views and scenery from our hike.

We arrived at Ocean Shores Washington, we had a hotel near the beach and a nice dinner at the Quinalt Resort & Casinos. We took a scenic drive along the coast on Rt 109, there are many beaches along this route. One of the beaches reminded us of home our own Ocean City Maryland but this is called Ocean City, Washington. Hubby found a Sand Dollar on one of beaches, we saw a lot of shorebirds and gulls. So check out below, some of our images from our over night visit.

A view at the Ocean Shores beach.




 Birds and cars on the beach, I hope the birds stay safe.



I am not sure what these blooms are called, these bushes were near a lot of the beaches and trails.



Below are some scenes from our walk along the trail at the Griffiths-Priday Ocean State Park.  Here you see the river, dunes and beach. I am not sure of my hummingbird id, I was told it could be a Rufous or an Allen's.



It is hard to tell were the sand ends and the ocean and sky begin.

As we headed south toward Ocean Shores Washington, we broke up our drive with a walk on the Quinalt Rainforest nature trail.  It is a gorgeous well groomed trail with a beautiful forest. It is noted that the trail is .05 to .09 miles long, a short and sweet walk. :)


The trail is winding high above the creek for awhile.





Looking down at the creek and some cascades.

Trees, trees and more trees growing out of trees.

I need to delete images from my computer, there are way too many right now. I will be posting twice a week on this blog until I catch up.


Leaving our ocean front resort and the more northern beaches of the Olympic Nat'l Park we headed south for our next night stay at Ocean Shores, Washington. But, we made a few stops along the way at the Quinalt Rainforest .

We stopped at a few overlooks with a view of the Pacific Ocean. There are two people walking down on the beach, they look tiny in my photo. Click on the photo for larger viewing.


A short hike to the largest Spruce Tree in the Quinalt Rainforest.





The Merriman Falls at 40 feet is viewable from the road, there are places to park in certain areas.


This is the Bunch Creek Falls also seen from the road. The falls is about 60 feet tall




A pullover next to the river had a nice view of the Olympic Mountains in the distance.


Not sure if this is the Merriman Creek or the Quinalt River. Both are in this area.
