Started the morning off with a short hike to Sol Duc Falls (roundtrip 1.6 miles). Another great walk through the forest. The falls were amazing.
Then we drove to Rialto Beach. This place was wonderful. The parking lot is surrounded by piles of driftwood. The waves were huge and there were lots of rocks. We walked on the beach and explored a few of the driftwood shacks. 
Next we headed to the Hoh Rain Forest. We stopped in Forks for some supplies. It was a great drive; the leaves were starting to change.
We set up camp in the NPS campground - our spot was right next to the river. Pulled the lawn chairs out and took them down beside the river. What a relaxing afternoon. This is vacation! The river sounds and looks amazing and all around us were beautiful views. 
We can't believe we lucked into a sunny day in the middle of the rain forest. There's lots of rock sculptures left behind by other 'rock artists'. I had a lot of fun playing with the rocks - for once we weren't in a hurry! Below are 2 of my creations.
After dinner we went for a short walk. Then we lit the fire and listened to the river. This site definitely makes our top 3 list of best campsites ever. (I know, sometime I'll actually have to compile the list and share it with you.) Our fire/table area is very private. The river sounds fantastic. There are tons of stars. And we are on vacation.
