Not quite a Redwood, but the rainforest and northern Olympic NP had their share of huge trees. | My parents in front of Merrymere Falls, just south of Lake Crescent. | More Merrymere. |

The powerful Sol Duc Falls. | A different angle of the Sol Duc Falls. | Atop a bridge over the Sol Duc Falls. |

After a few hikes, we relaxed by Lake Crescent on the north end of the park. | We were initially disappointed that we couldn't rent any motor powered boats for Lake Crescent, but these hydro bikes turned out to be incredible fun. | Supposedly you can ride around 5mph, with peak speeds of 8-10mph. I obviously had no way to gauge this :) |

After I did laps around them, Kacey and my mom turned in their dinky peddleboat for their own hydrobikes. | The bikes had surprisingly good agility in the water. My only complaint is the rusted chain that jumped every revolution or so. | Maybe I'm going 10 mph here? |
