  4. I've always loved waiting for the mountains to be revealed as the misty clouds slowly drift away. Sometimes that doesn't happen for days at Olympic. Hope you soaked in the springs. Great capture Janie.

  5. Wow! You're really high up there. Beautiful scene. That peninsula is supposed to be one of the rainiest places in the U.S., but you lucked out and got wispy fog and clear skies!

  11. Great photos. I was out there about 8 years ago, and was overwhelmed with immensity of it, and the rivers that ran off it, but most of all by the rain shadow on the east side of it. It was downright droughty in those areas.
