#ERT_2015 Day 9 - North Cascades NP to Olympic NP

This morning started off with a super fabulous hike at Diablo Lake! It was probably my favorite hike of the trip- it had a lot of varied terrain and the trail was beautiful! Those who decided not to hike got to play in the lake.


I don't know what's happening here.
I want a stump house.






THIS TRAIL AHHHH it was so beautiful!




After our hike and lunch, we started our journey to Olympic National Park. On the way we stopped at Cascadian Farms, which is where they made the granola that Ivy had been eating for breakfast! While there we stopped and picked wild blackberries! They were delicious!





Scrumptious!
We also got some YUMMY smoked salmon (to finish off our lunch, haha) and headed off to the ferry across the Sound.

Waiting lot dinner cooking! While Ivy was cooking her dinner I chatted up a couple of old ski racer dudes. Gotta love the Alta apparel- the universal sign for "I am a skier." Haha.


Bracing for a huge wave! Haha. Yeah right.
Packed in like sardines!!
Once we got off the ferry, we had about a three hour drive to our campground on the far western edge of the Olympic Peninsula. (There was a lot of driving over these few days, haha.)
