This is another of those peaceful places I found in my travels. It is the lower portion of Bunch Falls…located at the southern most entrance to Olympic National Park, on the rain forest side of the park. You get to it by driving past Quinault Lake and staying on the dirt road heading east. It is right at the entrance sign to the park.
I got lucky this day as it did not rain…which is saying something as this portion of Washington gets about 140-170 inches of rain per year. It is a true rain forest, but all that water keeps the forest green and the falls and creeks flowing. One can really appreciate a beautiful place like this on a day without precipitation as they are few and far between.
There are many peaceful places to be discovered at this beautiful national park, especially on the western side. But check the weather forecast before you go so the rain doesn’t interrupt those special moments of tranquility.
