It rained all day and was foggy. The colors are so beautiful during the rain. We started out checking out the beach.
The sunny sandy beach was totally different today. This building was first built in 1934 as a rangers residence, but now is a gift shop and museum.
The ocean finally had waves and looked like an ocean. Great crashing waves that shook the rocks we stood on.
Big sprays of waves up the cliffs. John in his caguole. It is the only thing that is really waterproof in this heavy rain, gortex is like a sieve.
A kind of suck hole in the waves and rocks. Poison ivy and asters
More poison ivy , asters and the pink granite, drops of rain on the pine trees.
Then we hiked up in the woods to the fog on the Southern Mt Cadillac trail. I thought the trail was paved, but the whole mountain is a huge hunk of granite, with just a skin of dirt. The trails were granite and tree roots.
A drop of water on a fir tree, a small waterfall
The fabulous view of the ocean straight down from the Eagles Crag is obscured by fog.
Pink granite lichens, grass and a mushroom. We turned around here, where the trees started to get shorter and twist from the altitude and wind. We didn’t start till 4 pm and wanted to get back before dark.
Twisted tree and John, with his superior strength, breaking a boulder beside the trail
Leathery lichen called rock tripe,moss, pine needles on the granite and a fern, tree roots grasping for a hold on the rock.
small waterfalls everywhere, fall leaves on the trail
Red mushrooms on green moss, spruce/fir forest around the trail.
Moss and lichen on everything. Reindeer lichen and thick green hair cap moss.
