From the Hoh Rain Forest we headed south to the Kalaloch Park and beaches. On the way out (it was a lovely drive) we saw about eight elk. Just out side of Neah Bay we had seen about 100 elk in a pasture. It really confused us as the barbed wire fence was only three feet tall and would hardly even slow them down. We talked about it later and concluded that they were probably staying close to town (and in the pasture) to avoid plumbers. Go figure! The beach at Kalaloch was quite pretty. I made a video of the panorama. Kalaloch Beach, WA. =0=

Kalaloch was named for 'a good place to land canoes'. There were lots of logs and other drift wood washed up on the beaches and many stone cairns were put up on the drift wood. There were several paths down to the beach each of which was along one of the creeks / ravines where water from higher up drained into the ocean making the cliff less steep as shown here.

At the end of the path to the beach that we took, there was a little bridge styled with drift wood (above). Way Cool! There was also a marker on the tree to indicate where the path started on the return. Kalaloch Beach, WA. =0=
