Summer at Lochaerie
July 31st, 2008The great summer weather has arrived at Lake Quinault. The mornings on the lake are usually still and perfect for a canoe ride to look for otters, king fishers, or nesting osprey and eagles. The afternoon breeze comes in from the west and helps keep everything cool and comfortable.
The hummingbirds are once again lining up at Steve’s feeders. The National Park crews continue to clear and improve roads and trails damaged from the last two harsh winters. Park rangers are leading summer tours to the big cedar and along the Maple Glade Trail. Check out the Quinault Historical Museum on the south shore of the lake. The museum gives a fascinating glimpse into the history of the valley. It’s fun to watch the perch and smelt fishermen on the ocean beaches north of Kalaloch.
The mouth of the upper Quinault River has again migrated over the winter in our direction and is now very close to Canoe Creek. Canoeing to and hiking along the river is once again a new experience.
Check your calendar, pick your favorite cabin, and give Steve a call or email him at: 638northshore@reachone.com. We look forward to seeing you soon!
