In case you didn't get enough of my earlier photos of the Roosevelt elk...

I could watch these guys all day!

Olympic Peninsula Trip - Day Twelve (Part Two)

Dosewallips State Park

After relaxing in the sun with my book, I eventually got restless and decided to go visit the elk again. They had moved from the large meadow out into the main campground. 

Everyone is keeping their distance!

We loved our campsite and hope to return this summer!

After spending some time watching the elk, I decided to walk over to the Hood Canal and the Dosewallips River confluence. It was beginning to warm up, but the hike was level and easy.

Mount Rainier

The water was so beautiful and I found myself wishing I had a kayak.

Looks like the elk have been bedding down here, too.

After I returned, we headed out to see a nearby waterfall. 

We saw this huge boulder along the trail. Sure wouldn't have wanted to be around when it rolled down the hill!!

The waterfall was beautiful!

When we returned, the elk were still in the middle of the campground, grazing and napping in the shade.

We took their lead and decided to relax, as well.
