Our 3rd day of vacation was a hike in the Hoh Rain Forest on the Hoh River Trail, then a drive to Soleduck where we hiked to Soleduck Falls. Later we drove to Port Angeles and got our only motel of the vacation (a needed respite). After we checked into the motel, we had dinner and drove up Hurricane Ridge at sunset. That was awesome.
Just like every day on our vacation, it was mostly sunny and in the 60's. The Rain forest was quite impressive with lots of huge sitka spruce trees and hanging moss. There were ferns everywhere.
