Olympic National Park, Rialto Beach

Our morning adventure took us to the west coast and the Pacific Ocean.  Olympic National Park has so many ecosystems; ocean, forest and mountain.  The ocean beaches are very rustic with dark sand and flat worn rocks on the beach. 

Rialto Beach is one of the more popular beaches and easy to reach by car.  We arrived midday to walk to Hole in the Wall, a formation along the beach with tidal pools.  We arrived just as the tide turned and had to negociate between the waves to get off the formation, but we were able to see evetyting we had planned on. 

In addition they have sea stacks, rock projections that rise out of the water.  The picture is of sea stacks at Rialto Beach.
