So far this winter we've done a hike in the Banner Forest, one at Seabeck, and the latest one at Twanoh State Park, on the Hood Canal, where we camped several years ago. Then, I actually hiked this trail alone, singing loudly to warn the bears ("If you're happy and you know it clap your hands..."). About an hour in duration, the hike goes through patches of fern, salal and kinnikinnick, old cedar stumps, wet nestings of lichen and moss, and clusters of rhododendron. Flickr set here...
