Fun in Forks


          AHHHHH yes,  the rough life of an Innsitter!!!  Here we are having a pic-nic [or is he having a nap?] on the shore of Lake Crescent on our way to our job in Forks WA at the Miller Tree Inn. Actually being Interim Innkeepers here in the summer is a lot of work -

  So, not much time to have fun but we always get to sneak away for at least one little beach walk.

 And maybe a short hike.


  Forks is located on the Olympic Peninsula and has so many natural wonders that you could never  do everything: hiking, biking, boating and pic-nicing. But hey, at least we try!!



      It's easy to have fun when there are so many lovely places so close to "our" inn. Of course  sometimes I am a really good wife and let Kirk go out to play while I stay and slave over a hot washing machine -  sigh......

  If he gets to go out and have fun, these are some of the things he likes to do...




 


   Looks like he's having FUN, huh???

 

 But no matter how busy we are, we always try to get away for one perfect sunset.... check it out!  Rialto Beach is the very best spot!






                    So next time you are on the Olympic Peninsula, stop in Forks and have some
                                                                          FUN!!

Forks Five Faves

There really is not a lot to do in Forks WA but it is a great hub from which to explore all that the Olympic Peninsula has to offer: hiking with great mountain views, boating on pristine lakes, fishing in wild rivers, watching sunset from rocky windswept beaches, having lunch in historic lodges, strolling to lovely waterfalls, wine tasting or even taking the ferry to Victoria for the day. So when guests from the Miller Tree Inn ask us to help them plan their days itinerary, here are our top five favorites:

Kayaking on Lake Crescent

Wine Tasting at Olympic Cellars

Watching Sunset at Kalaloch Beach
Hiking on Hurricane Ridge
 

Lunch at Lake Crescent Lodge
 
What a great part of the country! We always love to work up here. What are your favorite parts of the Olympic Peninsula or Forks?
