N. Fork Campground, Quinault River Olympic National Park, WA

We decided our first stop would be the Quinault area.  After talking to a ranger we decided to head out to the North Fork Campground along the Quinault River.  The road is a loop with the camp near the bridge. 
 The North side of the river is a single lane road with turn outs. 


Around every corner we were introduced to a new sight.


When we got to camp it had 9 sites, honey buckets, no trash/water or anything else.  We had 3 tent neighbors.


This log was next to the picnic table.


When you look down the log it is super long with so much growing around it, it looks like a trail here, but it really is the log.


On the other side of the log there was a trail, so we followed it and found the Quinault River.  Bailey was so excited to find water, she was really cute, but we were party poopers and would not let her get wet. 


On our way back out we drove the South side of the river.  It widened to a paved 2 lane road in no time.


There were numerous small water falls along the way. 
Since the water levels are at their lowest now,
we wondered how much water there would have been in the spring.
