Olympic Day Four: Rialto Beach

This is undoubtedly another too-long post. The morning after my long hike to and from the glacier, I spent a relaxed morning exploring Rialto Beach, home of the locally-famous Split Rock and Hole-in-the-Wall.

I moseyed 1.5 miles down the beach to Hole-in-the-Wall and back, snapping photos the whole way. I especially had fun exploring the tide pools!

They kindly took my photo with this awesome tree

Split Rock (can you tell?)

Did this tree grow here? 

I spy with my little eye...

I loved the stark contrast of the white surf against the black sand.
