Cool mosses in the Hoh rainforest

For reference, I live in the southwest, so most of that is drivable (ish). I'd like to stay on the west coast to have a better chance of cheap tickets. If you have good hiking suggestions too, I'm all ears

Hurricane Ridge trail. Caught the wildflowers at almost the perfect time of year

Mid Summer camping trip 2023. First time camping in a hammock, which did not go well. Failed to account for insulation beneath me, and was helping run a school camping trip, so I was a bit hypervigilant. No sleep that night lol, but the bears didn't eat any of the kids so I count it as a win.

If anyone knows what fish this is, lmk

The beast won't let me plan my trip. As soon as the map goes down, he sits on it

Race Rocks Ecological Reserve, BC

It got super foggy on the whale watching trip I went on while I was in Washington, and as we were turning back to Port Angeles, the Race Rocks came out of the mists. It was something out of an episode of Scooby-Doo, foreboding. But, they do some very cool ecological research and conservation work at the lighthouse, protecting the surrounding ecosystems.
