Mount Olympus, the highest peak in the park at 7,980 feet is covered in clouds.  Andrew said he didn't see Mt Olympus on his last trip and isn't sure it really exists.

We headed out to the coast for today's hike starting at Rialto Beach.  The coastline on the Olympic Peninsula is also part of the park.   It's so rare to see beaches wild and untouched by commercial development.  We hiked up the beach 2 1/2 miles or so to a point just beyond the "Hole in the Rock" which is... a hole in a large rock wall.  Very creative.  The beaches here are very different from the Florida beaches I'm used to.  They are rocky with black sand and rocks called cobbles.  There are rocky islands off the coast that are called "sea stacks".  These sea stacks are evidence of where the beach use to be.  All else has eroded, leaving these rocky mounds far out to sea, a haven for sea birds and seals.

We hiked back and drove to Port Angeles on the north side of the park.  We got a site at the campground Heart O' the Hills inside the park.
