LYC: Victoria was nice, even with the gloomy weather. Road Trip report inside:

Posted by Guy (aka lostatlimbo) Sep 15 '09, 09:46

Camped at Rialto Beach on the Olympic Peninsula the 1st night. Did some beach walking, which was pretty, but no easy stroll (Oregon beaches are often very rocky).

Soaked in some natural hot springs tucked away in the forest and camped by a crystal clear Crescent Lake the second night.

Then spent a night in Victoria. Didn't have time to get up to the Buchart Gardens, but walked around Inner Harbour area quite a bit, toured the Parliment Building and had a generally good time despite the fact that we waited an hour for the Undersea Gardens to open (it still wasn't open an hour after the posted times, when we had to go catch the ferry back.)

Stopped at Hurricane Ridge on the way back, which - at 5200 ft offers some amazing views of the Olympic range.

will upload some photos later this week, but this is Hurricane Ridge (upload.wikimedia.org)
