A winter adventure on the Olympic Peninsula

 

Lake Quinault Lodge

Last week we headed north.  Two nights at Lake Quinault Lodge, three at the Bogie cabin, and another on Bainbridge island.  Hiked the old growth trails of the Quinault, enjoyed eight inches of snow at the Bogie, and skied Hurricane Ridge as well.  It was a great mix of the familiar and some less familiar places.  I had not been to Hurricane Ridge in many years, same with Lake Quinault.  So much green and water.
