Olympic national park is huge! Each section of the park has a different ecosystem. There's mountains, ocean beaches, lots of waterfalls, and rainforests. Sunset along Rialto and Ruby beaches is very pretty with the large rock formations. One of my favorite areas was the Hoh rain forest. I was there in the fall, and all of the trees were turning yellow, and dropping leaves onto the green ferns below. The Sol Duc falls are pretty too.
I was in a rental car on that trip and had to get back to Seattle for a conference, so I took the auto ferry from Bremerton back to Seattle. I didn't specifically plan it, but the ferry I was on was right at sunset....we came around the islands, and Mt. Rainier popped out of nowhere bathed in sunset pink light. It was spectacular! Then the ferry got into Seattle right at dusk, with the deep blue sky, as all the building lights starting to come on.
