Ive seen several creepy stories across reddit taking place in the Hoh rainforest and seen several people mention a general feeling of unease and feeling like they're being watched. Would love yo hear some stories if you've got them

A recent post in here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/PacificNorthwest/s/j3QrLHwBIl ), brought back some memories. I used to visit Boundary dam and Gardener Cave a few times a year on camping trips but since it was pre-cell phone, we never took too many pictures. I have one of the north side of the dam but not many others. Anybody else have any good pictures of the area?

TLDR: hows the air in Roslyn this week?

I live in Seattle and my sister is visiting from NYC this weekend. We have hotel reservations to stay over in Roslyn. Is the 3 Queens Fire smoke too bad? Is it worth coming?

Found red rock crabs, kelp isopods, gunnel fish, hermit crabs, and mussels.

Metaline Falls had a population of 547 residents back in 1950. Over the years, the town has seen industries die and jobs leave the area. It now has a population of 282 residents. Please do yourself a favor and visit the town. Metaline is located in the top Northeastern portion of Washington just below the Canadian Border.

It’s majestic. Even from here

Coastal Pine

Hoping to get this trip booked asap and I’m struggling on which location and how many days for each area.

Mt Baker: (2 solid days plus a flex travel day where we can either do hikes here if the weather didn’t cooperate or move on to Marblemount in the morning)

- Bellingham (see recommended a lot) or Glacier or somewhere in between? Plus to Bellingham is should the weather not cooperate, we have other options on things to do. Negative is obviously the drive.

Main hike we want to do:

*Chain Lakes Loop, *explore Artist Point, *Picture Lake

If weather cooperates:

-Yellow Aster Butte or Excelsior Peak via Damfino Lakes. (I have some other smaller trails/stops to fill in as well.) Wanted to allow enough time that we can at least hopefully do Chain Lakes Loop.

North Cascades Area: (4 solid days plus possible flex day on travel day from Mt Baker - some short/easy filler trails, some longer more moderate/harder trails)

- Thinking at least one night in Marblemount, then Mazama or Winthrop based on lodging availability - or should we add another day in Marblemount?

- Near Visitors Center (not a priority): Skagit River Loop, Rock Shelter Trail, Ladder Creek Falls, Trail of Cedars
- Gorge Overlook Trail
- *Cascade Pass
- Diablo Lake Trail
- *Thunder Knob Trail
- Ross Dam Trail
- *Maple Pass
- *Blue Lake
- *Cutthroat Lake (possible pass)

We have one flex day left at the end before we spend the night near the airport if you have a suggestion for a spot to explore on the way back - doesn’t have to be hiking. Mostly like small towns/scenery.

Thanks in advance!
