Bunch Creek Falls
Olympic National Park

This was the only rewarding find along the Quinault Loop: Bunch Creek Falls.  The cascade is at the entrance to Olympic National Park, along the South Shore Road (look for it as you cross the bridge -- there are turnouts on either side).

Tip:

The water falling over Bunch Creek Falls tumbles roughly 60 feet.  If you're tempted to climb down onto the rocks at the base of the falls, watch your step.  Everything is wet, and covered with a slippery slime that affords no traction.

Maybe the Quinault Loop is more impressive than I'm willing to give it credit for, since by this point in the day, I was growing too tired to enjoy the scenery.  After returning to US 101, I headed south in a hurry, anxious to make up for the extra time I spent at Ruby Beach, and in the Hoh Rain Forest. 

I passed up a worthwhile scenic detour, which would have taken me back to the coast at Pacific Beach, and past several oceanfront state parks.  I also buzzed through the towns of Hoquiam, Aberdeen, and Cosmopolis, and bypassed another coastal route (WA Rte. 105).  I had hoped that US 101's trip along Willapa Bay would have been a bit more scenic, but clouds began to roll in, along with a misty rain, so I kept going, and made it to Long Beach before sunset.
