Olympic National Park - Lake Crescent

We stopped at Lake Crescent to check out Fairholme campground and were basically rooted right to the spot. We quickly discovered there are about 9 (?) coveted walk in spots that are right on the shores of this beautiful emerald azure lake. It was so breathtaking we couldn't help but spend a few nights camping here!





Just a few shots from around the campsite; we had lots of ducky visitors! And then since baby animals are so cute and stuff, some fawns! Below is probably my favorite photo from the entire trip which was my morning view. Seeing the sun rise and set on this lake was one of those absolutely sublime feelings; those moments as described by Dr. Vasant Lad, "when you look at a beautiful sunrise, sunset, lonely light on the water, beautiful bird in the sky or a flower dancing in the wind - at this moment of beauty, you get absorbed and truly connected with the world. At that moment true happiness is unfolded in your heart. That happiness is beauty. That happiness is love. That happiness is awareness."



I dream about this place. I cannot wait to go back. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, even just to stop by and stay a moment.
